STENBERG-MASOLLE (Aina). ABC-bok. Av Aina Stenberg-Masolle. Wahlström & Widstrand. Stockholm. [1924]. In-4 (27,3 x 25,2 cm). (30) ff. : publisher's album, burgundy cloth spine, first cover lithographed in colors, a young child riding a rooster. First sought-after edition of this alphabet book by one of the most famous Swedish book artists. Aina Stenberg-Masolle (1885-1975) was also a ceramist and watercolorist. Printed only on the front side of fine colored watercolors reproduced in lithography. Only two lines of Swedish underline the letter illustrated with a large composition with the initial capital and small, at the top left, in a blue circle. The watercolors show little Swedes in their activities and animals. No illustration for the Q, "Q is like an O with a tail and is used almost nowhere." Nice copy. Fragile endpaper with small cracks on inner hinges. Provenance: Bertha Holbrook, with her handwritten bookplate.
