— [Alphabets]. Automobile ABC.

No place (France), no publisher, no date (ca.1900), (16) pag., coloured illustrations (inside wrappers text and illustrations printed in brown), original stapled chromolithographed wrappers, oblong folio (24,3 x 33,5 cm.). = Very rare and early automobile ABC. A variant is known with the car driving to the left published under the imprint Vve Magnin et Fils, libraires-éditeurs - this variant without imprint and with the early car driving to the right, untraced. The alphabet seems to be quite technical text-wise for children reading primers (N: "Un réflecteur en Nickel donne une grande puissance d''eclairage au pétrole ou à l'acétylène"), while the illustrations seem to match the young children's imaginative world. Inside frontwrapper strengthened with a strip of paper and repaired with manuscript replacement of printed letter "B"; backwrapper strengthened w. sellotape at 2 outer corners and at sm. tear lower margin; tape-ghosts along spine.
