Original illustrated paper boards, contains 6 scenes on double backed paper, (12pp in total) each depicting silhouette figures in a theatre window setting and each behind a waxed draughtsman's paper screen. Plate one has 3 moveable tabs working. Plate 2 has 2 working as does plate 3 working. Plate 4 similar, working. Plate 5 2 tabs working. Plate 6 complete figures but only one tab working. all tabs have been strengthened and as each plate has a plain paper backing these have at one time been parted and perhaps to re-affix the tabs and this has left old cow glue marks (browning) to some page edges, the boards are very good with a little loss at bottom outer corners, gutters also browned due to old gutta-percha glue deteriorating. contents loose in binding. Original Canary yellow publishers advert endpapers, Measures 27.5 x 17.5 cm. NOTE. Condition not perfect, these elusive books rarely if ever are and even poor copies hardly ever turn up. This is a title not found on any institutional library catalogue With a worldwide search of Institutional Libraries and major children's museums all seemingly lacking a copy. British Library has no holding and none in the USA.

Store Description

We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.
