PRETTY PICTURE ABC BOOK

  • New York: McLoughlin Brothers, 1900
New York: McLoughlin Brothers, 1900. Very good.. Large-format lavishly chromolithographed alphabet picture book, distinctive for its perversely needless rhymes: "O is for Ostrich, who's vain, very clearly / P is for Pigeon, a pet that's loved dearly." 10.5'' x 9.25''. Original saddle-stapled chromolithographed wrappers. Illustrated in chromolithography throughout. [8] pages. Rubbing, wear, and creasing; still, more intact than common.
