Description
Nearly fifty items available with this image. We have partially restored it to its Victorian beauty. We did did keep the withered pages 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.
Raphael Tuck & Sons was a business started by Raphael Tuck and his wife in Bishopsgate in the City of London on October 1866,[1] selling pictures and greeting cards, and eventually selling postcards, the latter being the most successful. This included children's books that were illustrated by some of the best artists of the age.
Their business was one of the most well known in the 'postcard boom' of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Their contributions left a lasting effect on most of the artistic world. During The Blitz, the company headquarters, Raphael House, was destroyed including the originals for most of their series. The company never fully recovered.
We will be restoring several ABC books and listing them here as they would make wonderful art for any child's bedroom wall. Art is in Public Domain as it is over one hundred years old. Circ 1900-1902

Such by gone times of yester-year, Reynold. Simpler times...about the same time Walter Vail was establishing Empire Ranch near my home in Vail, Arizona! Thanks for the memories!....fav / like

I love vintage artwork and this is a wonderful piece. Have you consider adding such work to Print All OVer Clothing through sites like LiveHeroes. They are situated in Poland and I've sold several garments with my artwork on it over the past year. 50% vintage art reproductions and the rest my fractal compositions.

Another little gem from your gallery Reynold. It's full of old world charm and beautifully presented. Both you and your team deserve every accolade for saving and restoring these miniature masterpieces. Keep up the great work! Fav'/voted.
