Description
3 images are designed for wrap-a-round art perfect for mugs and handbags. Take a peek and you can see a 3 for 1 value! All will look great displayed in any kitchen. See our mug collection ( in progress) where more of these are displayed.
This vintage patriotic art has been moved up Front-And Center in the gallery as we approach the upcoming Holiday! Nearly 50 items are available with this image. The entire ABC book is available fully restored by Reynold Jay. View the pages of the book in the Starry Flagg Gallery. This cover can be seen in craft shops, bumper stickers, and more to this day. It could very well be one of the most famous Victorian pieces of art one could ever hope to find.
In book six, Tammy writes in her diary, "As you might imagine, an opossum, a mongoose, and a bird cannot read at all; although I had taught Zeke and Cedric to write their names. They had learned the first four letters of the alphabet from an ABC book Lord Wixby had given me. I was proud of them. After all, how many animals would ever want to read?"
Several books were discovered in the shed along with the Wurtherington diary including this one by Father Tuck. We imagine that Tammy used this book to teach Cedric and Zeke to read.
We have partially restored it to its Victorian beauty. We did keep the withered pages partially intact as we wanted the reader to experience the joy of viewing the book as would any modern-day collector.
We hope that children may learn and enjoy from it. Look for other ABC books in this vintage 1883 series. Art is in public domain as it is over one hundred years old.
McLaughlin Bros.
We will be restoring several ABC books and listing them here as they would make wonderful art for any child's bedroom wall. The Mc Loughlin Bros. were active from 1828 to 1920, the New York publishing firm Mc Loughlin Brothers pioneered color printing techniques for children's books. They specialized in retellings of classic children's stories and helped popularize illustrators like Thomas Nast, William Momberger, and Justin H. Howard. The art is in Public Domain as it was published over one hundred years ago.
