About This Item
No Place: Juvenile Publishers, 1899 Unpaginated. Pictorial boards, accented in gilt, cloth spine, corners worn, edges rubbed, clean overall with a few signs of use internally. The publishers really tried to pack a lot into this one little book! We start out with an alphabet with two examples and brief verse for each letter, then we go on to counting, then days of the week, then months and finish off with some natural history. Peppered throughout the book are Mother Goose rhymes. The book is illustrated in two-color, plus line art printed with blue ink and there is a color frontis depicting Little Red Riding Hood. There are even some Wain-esque cats! Something for everyone, really. . Pictorial Boards. Very Good/No Jacket. Illus. by Various. 8vo.
