The desire for knowledge, like the thirst for riches,
​increases ever with the acquisition of it.

Turn Again, Turn Again!

Here's another item that is not a knowledge wheel but, at least this time, it's actually a wheel. It's a set of wheels and a delightful one at that. I don't know the date of the original as this is a replica. You'd think they'd tell you the original date, but they don't. This book is 7.5 by 9.5 inches. It's in satisfactory shape.

What's not to like about these illustrations? You have the blacksmith and his apprentice, the very creepy and twisty-legged piano teacher (whose fingers appear to be broken), a little girl on a swing, a comely washerwoman, and my favorite: the natty gent getting spied on in his train compartment. Each picture features eleven faces (the first page has a duplicate, for some reason). If you wander on over to my Instagram page, you can see this wheel in motion! Click on the tiny icon below.
