About This Item
No place, no date (but France, circa 1840). 28 cardboard cards, size 8,5 x 7,4 cm. The 28 cards contain the 26 letters of the alphabet and two card for the numbers (0 - 9).
A lovely and extremely rare set of cards. Each cards shows a letter of the alphabet, both a capital letter and a miniscule, and each card shows a lithograph illustration in the lower half of the card. The letters are printed in relief in gold. The whole card and the illustrations have a border in that is also printed in relief in gold with the same decorative points. The back of the card has a text in rhyme that explains the illustration. There is no mention of a publisher of an editor. We have not found any reference to this alphabet, not in Gumuchian nor in another bibliography. It seems to be extremely rare.
