SUSIE'S AND LITTLE HUGH'S ALPHABET.
Pp. [28], the text and illustrations printed in brown, the title printed in red, large initial letter on each page, for every letter of the alphabet, printed in red, green or blue; oblong super roy. 4to; red cloth backed pictorial glazed papered boards, lettered and decorated in colours and gilt, faintly soiled, edges a trifle rubbed; within early [original?] glassine wrapper, now protected by mylar, slightly cropped, edges a trifle chipped; a little light foxing of edges and some faint offsetting; Lewis Smith & Son, Aberdeen, n.d.[c. 190-?]. First edition. *A very late Victorian or early Edwardian alphabet, with each letter accompanied by 3 or more stanzas of verse. (From the use of the term X-rays, it must have been published after 1896, and the mention of Queen Victoria could perhaps be interpreted as referring to her death, although that is not specified).
