Peter Parley's primer : with engravings
Peter Parley's Primer is a hand-coloured American children's reading primer compiled by Samuel G. Goodrich under his Peter Parley pseudonym, published in Philadelphia by T.T. Ash in 1835 for young beginner readers. Its small woodcut scenes are coloured by hand in flat washes of blue, red and ochre, with a boy and rabbit, a cow and calf, and a jug set beside large capital letters, offering a designer simple naive figures and bold, limited colour.
