Anyone know the Library of Congress Subject Heading for questionable children’s literature? Asking for a friend…
From the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chcago comes this children’s ABC book that doubles as an advertisement for plasters and pills because why not?
Highlights also include “M for Mutiny:”
and “E for Entreaty:”
See Brandreth Columbian ABC for the little ones (ca. 1893) for more.
