1895 · London
by Weedon, L. L.
London: Ernest Nister, 1895. Square octavo. (12)pp. Four chromolithographed volvelles encourage the young reader to align the pictures with their appropriate letters. The first apparatus, for example, situates a drum with "D," a train engine with "E," and sacks of flour with "F." Accompanying these are verses, the first of which matches the mnemonic movables. This work is known in three institutional copies, none of which are in the U.S. Bound in pictorial boards backed in red cloth. Dampstain to upper rear cover, else near fine in rare publisher's printed dust wrapper, somewhat chipped at corners.
