Alef-Bet. Frankfurt am Main: "Omanut, " 1922. Hebrew.
Hebrew alphabet reader. Each page of the book presents a number of decoratively framed letters of the Hebrew alphabet, designed by Jacob Apter (1899-1941). A paper pocket on inside front board contains sheets featuring the diacritics.
Guidelines on how the book should be used appear on the first page: "This alphabet [book] is meant to serve as a teaching aid for learning how to read in kindergarten and school […] The teacher [should] cut out the appropriate letter from the workbook and give it to the child. Using this as a model, the child will then cut the letter out of colored paper (or first copy it in pencil onto tracing paper) and paste it onto a board."
12 ff., 16X16 cm + [5] small pp. and [5] large pp. with diacritics (held in a paper pocket). Good condition. Minor stains and creases. Paper pocket partly detached.
