[ABCs]. "V is for Vagrant" - Little Pets Linen ABCs Book. New York: McLoughlin Bros.. ca. 1900.
12mo. 12 pp. Charming ABC primer printed on cloth, featuring four full-color illustrated pages depicting each letter of the alphabet and a trio of somewhat unusual examples of words starting with those letters. As opposed to the traditional A is for Apple, B is Book, A is illustrated with "Archer," "Anchor," and "Arrow," while B exhibits "Bear," "Bat," and "Barrel." Among the numerous other highlights to be found within these pages, V is for "Violet," "Violin," and "Vagrant." The other pages are typical fare for an early-20th century reading primer, with lists of words and phonetic combinations giving way to longer readings. Lesson 10 is a quartet of sentences: "You can sit in the hay," "We do not eat hay," "The hay is for the cow," and "Let us go and see the cow." Book shows significant signs of wear, with stitching to the back cover and spine, and toning to pages. Overall in good condition.
"McLoughlin Bros., Inc. was a New York publishing firm that pioneered the systematic use of color printing technologies in children's books, particularly between 1858 and 1920. The firm's publications served to popularize illustrators including Thomas Nast, William Momberger, Justin H. Howard, Palmer Cox, and Ida Waugh. By 1863, the firm had expanded from its original headquarters at 24 Beekman St. to include 30 Beekman St. John McLoughlin, Jr. continually experimented with color illustration--progressing from hand stenciling, to the mechanical relief process of zinc etching, to the planographic process of chromolithography. By the 1880s, McLoughlin books were regularly featuring titles in folio formats, illustrated by chromolithographs. A number of titles were probably "pirate" editions of picture books issued in England by firms like George Routledge & Sons. By 1886, the firm published a wide range of items including cheap chapbooks, large folio picture books, linen books, puzzles, games and paper dolls." (Laura Wasowicz, American Antiquarian Society)
