My Darling s A B C.. This item is unavailable.My Darling s A B C.

26 leaves as an accordion foldout, each leaf 3¾ x 2 inches. Hand-colored woodcut illustrations throughout, printed on one side only with the first and last leaves pasted to the boards (as issued?); a couple of minor splits at folds, but sound. Original orange boards, title label as above pasted to the upper board with a hand-colored woodcut of a girl in a red dress dangling the accordion ABC; some wear and edge-spotting. An anonymously-published issue of a charming and clearly popular toy-book; another issue with the same woodcuts (though a different illustration on the title-label) has the imprint of the Turner and Fisher firm with addresses in Philadelphia and New York. Each leaf has a large decorative initial and a word and illustration to represent the associated letter with overall a very American look, with rich colors and unusually charming and primitive woodcuts of well-known animals and objects.
