Beschreibung

First German translation, printed in Philadelphia, of LITTLE PRATTLE OVER A BOOK OF PRINTS, a book of moralistic tales and the alphabet. Originally published in 1804 in London, LITTLE PRATTLE OVER A BOOK OF PRINTS incorporated American aspects into the first American edition in 1808: the story about the dangers of gunpowder, for example, acquired a reference to the 4th of July. This German edition, printed in Philadelphia, speaks to the large German-speaking population of the region. The inclusion of the 4th of July remark demonstrates how efforts to "Americanize" members of this community began at an early age. 5.5'' x 3.5''. Original thin stone marbled boards. Illustrated throughout in black and white. [44] pages. Light edgewear to wrappers. Pages uniformly mildly toned. Sharp and clean. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 30168
