About This Item
Leipzig: Carl Reissner, 1880. Very good.. First edition of this delightful German color-learning board book, guided by an articulated paper doll - a rare survival. DER BUNTE HANS was evidently successful in its color-education aim: it is cited as the origin of a toddler's knowledge of the color yellow in an 1896 paper about infant development published by the Illinois Society for Child-Study. It is an interesting example of an effort to combine the idea of play (through its paper doll main character) and learning. In his introduction, Taube notes that the information in this book is particularly intended for three-to-four-year-olds, hence the sturdy pages - the young readership likely contributed to the rarity of this title on the market. 12.25'' x 9''. Original cloth-backed color pictorial boards. 10 color illustrations. [9] thick leaves, printed one side only. Binding with edgewear and spots of soil, some color touch-up; Leaves with scattered soil, particularly to versos; a few careful repairs in gutters, a touch of edgewear. Sound.
