About This Item
Otley: Printed by the Yorkshire Joint Stock Publishing and Stationery Company, [s.d., c. 1865] 12pp. With several engraved illustrations in the text. Stitched, as issued, into original publisher's pictorial green wrappers. Slightest of rubbing to extremities. A rare survival, in crisp original state, of a primer designed to instruct a juvenile readership in basic numeracy and reading comprehension. The Yorkshire Joint Stock Publishing and Stationery Company, who issued the work, purchased the premises of Otley-based printer Webb Millington in 1863. Their publications, predominantly chapbooks, toy books, and pictorial lessons, commonly used Webb Millington's old 'stock-blocks'. This re-use of texts, woodcuts, and engravings by make dating uncertain. The company does not appear to have survived beyond 1875. OCLC locates copies at six locations (BL, NLW, Philadelphia, Toronto, Trinity College Dublin, and Western Michigan); COPAC adds no further. . 12mo.
