Editor’s note: This is an alphabet book from 1900 published by Arthur Charles Bowden. It is a classic example of orientalist literature—and conditioning—which starts at a very early age. Below are 13 slides of rhymed couplets that cover each of the 26 letters of the alphabet.
The article was first published on The Heritage Lab—a wonderful resource of stories on cultural heritage, art, museums and lots more. You can find other wonderful essays on art and culture over at their website.
