First Alphabet ABC c.1870’s McLoughlin color lithographed picture book Cinglais Forest 19 1/4" H x 22"Book is a well age worn and much loved example. Covers detached. How you might expect a book made for children 150 years ago to look. Published NY, McLoughlin Brothers, c. 1865 75. 16 pp. [counting covers], original string tied binding so inherently fragile. Much browsed and handled survival, spine paper splitting as typical, covers detached and pages loosened, assorted small age soiling, various signs of time and handling. Images still mostly clean.
