My Tiny Alphabet Book, c1900
1" x 3/4"
This is the only Bryce book where colour is used. It is claimed that, up to the time of printing it was the smallest publication with colour printing. It was advertised as 'The Smallest English Classic in the World, Set up and Printed From Moveable Type'.
This is bound in red leather with gilt title to cover with two children (a boy and a girl) holding books amidst the title also in gilt stamp. All edges yellow.
Fine.
Sold by a collector in a public auction at Bonhams, 9th November 2022.
