Aunt Mary's illustrated reading book : with more than three hundred illustrations
Aunt Mary's Illustrated Reading Book is a mid-nineteenth-century children's primer published by G. Routledge in London and New York in 1855, meant for young readers learning to read. Its woodcut scenes of farm life, domestic interiors, a boy with a dog and cattle, and a tavern with bottles and barrels show plain, everyday action; a designer could borrow their simple staging, clear silhouettes, and small-scale narrative vignettes.
