Sobre este artículo
London / Tokyo: Bodley Head / Holp Shuppan, 1982. Facsimile ed.. Hardback wide octavo, very good condition, blind stamped red decorations covers, gilt title cover & spine, illustrated cover, full-page colour drawings (8 leaves of plates). In cardboard slipcase. 18 + 8 leaves of plates pp. Facsimile edition. This book was the first of a series of instructive reading books for young children that publisher Darton and Clark initiated in 1844. Samuel Clark had an interest in the physical sciences, and he may have promoted, if not written and illustrated, this fine book. The beautiful drawings would appeal to most ages. (One of a set of 35 handsome facsimiles in 28 slipcases.).
