About This Item

Paris : Librairie Théodore Lefèvre et Cie.. The alphabet for young children telling a story about a doll. Original hardback illustrated boards, with red cloth spine. Undated, but inscription to front blank page says in French that it was received on 2nd January 1896, so it was obviously printed before then. Lovely hand coloured illustrations. Boards are darkened and a little stained. Inside, has been repaired long ago with tape. Inscription - as mentioned previously - to front blank. Half title has small closed tear to the edge. Engraved coloured frontispiece and engrave title have been stuck together at some point. Likely when the book was taped. Pages are aged, and delicate but the book is complete. Book block a little loose. A scarce and charming item. Text in French. 72 pages. 185 x 115 mm (7¼ x 4½ inches). . L'alphabet pour les jeunes enfants racontant l'histoire d'une poupée. Couverture cartonnée originale illustrée, dos en tissu rouge. Non daté, mais l'inscription sur la première page blanche indique en français qu'il a été reçu le 2 janvier 1896, il a donc manifestement été imprimé avant cette date. Jolies illustrations colorées à la main. Les plats sont assombris et un peu tachés. L'intérieur a été réparé il y a longtemps avec du ruban adhésif. Inscription - comme mentionné précédemment - sur la page blanche de la couverture. La moitié du titre a une petite déchirure fermée sur le bord. Le frontispice gravé en couleur et le titre gravé ont été collés ensemble à un moment donné. Probablement lorsque le livre a été scotché. Les pages sont fragiles mais le livre est complet. Le corps du livre est un peu lâche, mais il s'agit d'un objet rare et charmant. 72 pages. 185 x 115 mm.
