- Abstract
The article analyzes a set of illustrated ABCs printed in France and Brazil, in the 19th and 20th centuries, focused on teaching reading and writing, whose central theme is the «animal kingdom», part of natural history, a theme that is characterized by its variety and didactic versatility in the literacy process. The investigation examines how the association between letters, words, and illustrations of animals is produced. By comparing them, we have found recurrences, specificities, and, above all, a possible common adoption of models and images. Indications of transnational circulation between Brazil-France can be seen by the publishers; the recurrence of the «animal kingdom» in very similar illustrations; the indication of the printing locations; and the presentation notes that justify the translations, adaptations, and reprints to meet the specificities of the different contexts.
