- Description:
-
- "Designed in England, Printed in Holland"--Upper wrapper.
- 4 bifolds, printed on both sides, with first and last leaves fastened to wrappers, with small cut-out windows, through which are viewed letters on 6 concentric letter-wheel volvelles (three attached to each wrapper), which can be turned to spell out items pictures; 6 letters at a time can thus be viewed.
- Also published in French under the title: "Ba, Be, Bi, Bo" by A. Capendu of Paris (cf. Cotsen 16127), which credits Emrik & Binger as printer; the only change (apart from title and imprint) is the addition of English to some labels and signs depicted within the illustrations (e.g. the ink bottle, or "butter" sign); since many of the objects shown seem to be better accommodated in the 6-letter slots in French (e.g. hiboux/owl, oiseau/bird, tasse/cup), than in English, this English version would seem to the reprint, and the French ed. the original.
