[CLAVERIE].
My great alphabet.
Tear-off album. Les Grands Albums de Bébé. No address, no place, no date. [Nancy. ca. 1890]. In-folio (41,5 x 28,5 cm). (8) ff. of strong cardboard: publisher's album, red percaline spine, first cover illustrated in color, a rooster occupying the whole space.

Beautiful animal primer, in very large format, illustrated with attractive stenciled imagery plates.
Seven large plates on cardboard, with an inserted canvas, including a double central plate, signed CL, or Claverie, in a frame of apricot color. Opposite, in midnight blue typography, a plate of alphabets and a new method of reading. Without initial, the colored engravings include only the name of the animal and the progressive method, short texts of first readings, at the end of the album.
The same interior illustrations compose an album, with a smaller format, published by Marcel Vagné in the collection Les Albums de bébé and this beautiful panoramic album is certainly issued from the press of the printer of Jarville-Nancy.
Small restorations on the cuts and the corners of the plates. A child has chased the row of numbers on the first page.
