= Preface: "These books are not only designed to please children but to show manners and customs of the ancient and modern people of Nippon. The fine illustrations afford an important aid in this respect. It is through the eye that the understanding itself is most quickly reached." Emily Bishop Boulton, born in England on June 2, 1855, travelled out to Japan with Bishop Poole, the first English Bishop in the country, and Mrs. Poole, arriving in Osaka in December, 1883. She at once joined Miss Oxlad in the Eisei (Eternal Life) school, nucleus of the Bishop Poole Girls' School, in which also she worked for some years after its opening in 1890.

= Unrecorded Dutch edition, preceding the first edition. Fine children's book aimed at teaching children the beginnings of mathematics (first publ. Stuttg., 1847): the plate illustrated on p.165 of Lust en Leering differs from the plate in our copy (the top illustration is different and the captions below all three image are differently spaced) and our copy is without title-p. The earliest Dutch edition known was published by D.A. Thieme and H.A. Tjeenk Willink in Arnhem and is dated around 1850 by Buijnsters (p.163-165). The plates, each consisting of 3 or 2 horizontal strips w. images showing objects that young children could recognize, teach the children to count, to add and subtract, to combine, to name colours and forms etc. Lust en leering p.163-165 (calling for a title-p. and 29 plates), referring to the Arnhem edition and the Groningen edition of two similar works by Bohny: "antiquarisch gesproken witte olifanten.

= A unique collection of unused Persil soap boxes with the original colour scheme designs, used for a campaign to promote (the upcoming) "Tintin" toy figure gifts with each box of Persil. In 1973 Persil started a Tintin campaign to promote the new formula by Persil: two different flip books with Tintin characters were added to boxes and two sets of 4 toy figures each. The front is in two different variants (one announcing the gifts, the other presenting the gifts). The back side of the boxes could also be collected as a portrait gallery, with the following characters: Tintin (Kuifje), captain Haddock (not present on the boxes), professor Tournesol (Zonnebloem), Dupond brother (Janssen), Bianca Castafiore, Snowy (Bobby), Rastapopoulos, Nestor the butler, dr. Müller, Abdallah. The original drawings (of which the photographs were taken) are by the Hergé studio or Hergé himself. The colour schemes are probably by the box designers of Persil/ Henkel. Provenance: the Henkel company. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XLVI.
= Very rare promotional item, to be hung in grocery stores and supermarkets to promote the Tintin campaign of Persil in 1973.
= In 1973 Persil started a promotional campaign with Tintin characters. Collectibles were added to soap boxes. In 1973 a new formula was presented by the company and it coïncided with the release of the Tintin movie "Tintin et le lac aux requins" (1972, Tintin and the Lake of Sharks) made by the animation studio Belvision. Although usually the Hergé Studio was responsible for the commercial outlets of Tintin, the movie and the Henkel campaign mutually benifited each other and for that reason Belvision was probably made responsible for the drawings (albeit probably under supervision of the Hergé Studio). Two different kind of collectibles were offered: two different flip books with Tintin characters and two sets of 4 toy figures each. This is the box intended for the flip book. The flip book is still shrinkwrapped. Provenance: the Henkel company.
Idem. "Persil. "Gratis 4 Kuifje figuurtjes". Seven unused and unfolded boxes of Persil washing soap, 48x35 cm. (when unfolded), 1973.
= These are the boxes used for the campaign with the toy figurines. Each with a different Tintin character portrait on verso. Probably 10 different characters were used. The front appears in 2 variants: one announcing the figurines (on 4 boxes) and one presenting the figurines "Spaar ze alle 8" (3x).
= These are the original designs, attributed to the Belvision animation team (after a suggestion by the Hergé Foundation). They were used for the small flipbook, that was a giveaway in a promotional campaign for the detergent Persil (Henkel) in 1973. The campaign coïncided with the Tintin movie "Tintin et le lac aux requins" (1972, Tintin and the Lake of Sharks) made by the animation studio Belvision, owned by Raymond Leblanc (who also directed the movie). Leblanc was the director of the comic publisher Le Lombard (which published the Tintin weekly). Although usually the Hergé Studio was responsible for the commercial outlets of Tintin, the movie and the Henkel campaign mutually benifited each other and for that reason Belvision was probably made responsible for the drawings (albeit probably under supervision of the Hergé Studio). Provenance: the Henkel company. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XLVI.
