WONDERLAND PICTURES [A Novel Picture Book of Dioramic Scenes]
LONDON: Ernest Nister, N. D. [c.1890's].
Illustrations by: Raymond Garmond
Verses by: Helen Burnside
First Edition. Printed in Bavaria
4to. 9.5" x 9"
6 kaleidoscopic dissolving view volvelles. Moveable plates with ribbon ties. Each movable plate has interlocking die-cut disks that with the pull of a ribbon, reveal hidden illustrations.
According to Haining (Wonderland) is one the most striking of the Nister movables.
Very Good with all movables complete and working. Of the 35 or so diagonal cut pieces one on the seashore scene is torn off at the corner but not very noticeable as it still meets the center dial. All scenes have with original ribbons and are working. Book is still well bound, it has some slight chipping on some page edges.
Product Code: N-101
