Langenscheidt's Lilliput Dictionary: English-French. A rare and charming example of mid-20th-century miniature book publishing, this 1961 first edition was produced by Langenscheidt KG in Berlin-Schöneberg, Germany. Printed by Druckhaus Langenscheidt, this pocket-sized bilingual dictionary exemplifies the renowned Lilliput series-iconic for its diminutive format and exceptional utility.
Measuring approximately 2 x 1.5 inches (5 x 3.5 cm) with 640 pages, the volume features a clothing canvas binding. It provides comprehensive English-French vocabulary, including abbreviations, proper names, numerals, and practical linguistic aids. Designed for travelers, students, and enthusiasts of fine miniature books, this compact reference remains remarkably practical over six decades later.
This is a genuine vintage old-stock copy in mint/like-new condition, preserved in excellent original state with clean pages, (yellowish due to time) tight binding, and minimal to no wear. A delightful addition to any collection of miniature books, linguistic curiosities, or vintage ephemera. All rights reserved by Langenscheidt KG, as printed. Spine numbered 8 (series identifier).
Perfect for collectors of Langenscheidt Lilliput editions, miniature book aficionados, Francophiles, and those seeking functional historical artifacts.
