The railway ABC. - Frederick Warne (Firm) (London ; New York : Frederick Warne & Co., 1890)
Title, imprint, and series no. from upper wrapper; publisher, location, and series name from lower wrapper.
"Cloth lined"--At head of title.
Tentative date from style of chromolithograph wrappers (this ed. postdates 1881, since it includes New York in Warne's imprint on lower wrapper).
7 mounted bifolia, printed with first and last leaves laid down to wrappers.
Illustrations: 4 chromolithographs on one side of leaf with single-color lithographs in either sepia or green on the other, both with lithographed text integrated into page design.
One of several Warne variations on this alphabet rhyme, beginning "A stands for the Arch that's thrown over a stream"; text and ill. distinct from Warne's earlier London Toy Book with same title (cf. Cotsen 18150).
