An art deco alphabet book.
Each page has a large picture with a narrow row of words and black and white line drawings beneath. The black and white images at the bottom of the page depict a jaw, jug, jar, jam, and jam. The larger image above depicts a young boy dressed in traditional Chinese clothing with a dragon floating behind him. |
| Contextual Notes | Racial, ethnic and social stereotypes were common in children's books until the late 1960's or early 1970's. Here, a figure who stands for "J" and is probably intended to be Japanese is very stereotypically Chinese. |
