American countdown tab book hardcover. Dated: on the internet: 1910 / 1912. A huge number of tab books have been published with the countdown (and mostly garbage) theme of the 10 little niggers. As far as I know this is one of the oldest editions. Mentioned on front cover: No. 960, Printed in Germany. Illustrator uncredited. The illustrations may be originally German, but I do not know. The figures are wooden puppets, with movable arms and legs, with depicted hinges. The (still) very bright, vibrant colors are remarkable. The rhyming text hardly follows a logical story and seems somewhat arbitrary and subordinate to the accompanying print. Linen back.
