1823ABC_48016Amsterdam: M. Westerman 1823. In the original pink and green cardboard case with glass lid green printed paper wrappers with cream paper dust jackets with the titles in manuscript on the front. Ca 7.7 x 6.5 cm. With 31 engraved plates and 5 engraved maps including a folding world map. 10 volumes. Comprising:1 De aardrijkskunde.2 De gewijde geschiedenis.3 Vaderlandsche geschiedenis.4 Natuurlijke geschiedenis der viervoetige dieren.5 De natuurlijke geschiedenis der vogelen.6 Natuurlijke geschiedenis der insekten kruipende dieren en visschen.7 De kruidkunde.8 Zedelijke verhalen.9 Arabische vertellingen.10 De mythologie. Complete set of the first edition of a charming miniature library preserved in the original box. This educational set for children contains works on geography Dutch history classical mythology natural history and the Bible with all the plates and maps included. A French edition was published in the same year but replaced the volume on Dutch history with a work on French history. Due to the charm of this miniature library a facsimile edition was published in 1984. The present set however is the first edition which is rare on the market and only available in a few libraries.Many miniature books were primarily written for children. As was usually the case with children's books published before the 20th century miniature books were typically instructional or educational in nature. Although they have existed since at least the early 17th century they were only specifically marketed towards children from the mid-18th century onwards. Children's books from the end of the 18th century were often influenced by the theories of Jean Jacques Rousseau 1712-1778 who thought that children should learn through play and at their own pace. According to Welsh the present works show Rousseau's ideas because they present the information through short stories.The edges and corners of the box are somewhat scuffed and the gold trimming on the lid has come loose in some spots with some loss of material. The paper wrappers of some of the volumes show some signs of wear. A few pages loose in ads 5 8 and 9 but they are still included. Otherwise in very good condition.l Saalmink p. 211; Welsh A bibliography of miniature books 1247; cf. Bondy p. 75 French ed.; Welsh The history of miniature books p. 74 2nd ed. M. Westerman, unknown
