Raphael Tuck Early Panorama Slotty Book
Color chromolithographed farm settings containing numbered slots in which the 15 corresponding loose figures can be placed, thus finishing the picture.
The text of the stories is printed on the verso of the panoramas. The back says: "HOW TO MAKE YOUR FARM. Here you have a pretty country Farm to visit whenever you will. Here you have horses to plough the fields, sheep to graze in the meadows, ducks to swim on the ponds, and many other animals and birds. You will find them in the pocket of this book. Now stand up the Panorama and inserts these animals and birds into the slots which are marked with numbers corresponding to those on the figures. A great many different scenes can be formed by making them change places with one another. We are giving you their names in English, French and Spanish, so while you are having a game you can be learning".
Other notes:
*Between 1900 and 1910 Date of publication understood from publisher's imprint, cf. Blair & Marg aret Whitton's Collector's guide to Raphael Tuck & Son, p. [6]. "Publishers to Their Majesties the King and Queen"
We can further narrow the date down by this "introductory editorial" introducing the new panorama books in 1908:
From The American Stationer, Volume 64 Howard Lockwood, 1908 - Stationery trade page 26:
"The picture panorama is the latest novelty for children put on the market by Raphael Tuck & Sons, These panoramas come in colored booklets, each one containing a number Of figures arranged for cutting out and standing up apart. like the Old fashioned paper soldiers. But the figures are more attractive than those play-
things of the last generation ; they come in a greater variety of subjects and are profusely colored. The figures in each book- let make a part of a series of tableaux illustrating fairy stories, etc. Many Of the booklets contain birds and Wild and exotic animals. They are well drawn and colored perfectly, showing a regard for accuracy that ought to make some Of the "nature fakirs" feel envious."
