Toploader medium softcover advertizing The Alphabet Party: It was the Holiday Season and Ethel and Charles Bright were about to turn seven. Their mother proposed a toy party. Each little guest should meet her at the toy department of a big store, look over the toys, and make up a poem. The best poet would get the pick of toys. "After they got home, the children, with the help of their elders, made up their rhymes", and took the poems to read at the twins' birthday party. A very jolly red and green party book with great illustrations of 26 turn of the century toys: gramophones, wind-up lobsters, velocipedes, rubber elephants, racing cars. Lively, bright illustrations and poems. Just the thing to encourage Christmas gift lists! ABE Heritage Seller since 1996; conservative AB condition grading.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Embossed and hand-coloured greetings cards, mostly elaborately printed in colours heightened with gold, at least two printed on vellum. A few with some photographic reproduction, but mostly with floral themes, very modishly 1890s. Bound in full cloth-of-gold (a little rubbed and soiled at extremities), titled and decorated in black. One sample removed. A fascinating collection in very good condition. In appearance reminiscent of The Yellow Book, a look that I suspect was not supposed to escape contemporaries.

Sixteen pages (two are half pages), fol., some foxing, but text clear. The text is in a large hand, with additions and occasional corrections for example, the word "out" is written beside '"Eighteen, the" see Sidesmen', itself crossed out.
