About This Item
London: Tilt & Bogue, 1843. Leporello. Card. Cloth spine.. Very Good. A novel and fun panorama. Closed, oblong, 8.5 by 24 cm, and its seven panels within are stretchable to 157.5 cm, or about 1.5 meters. Unusual rendering of first four lines of nursery rhyme in five languages besides English --- French, Hebrew, Latin, Greek and German. Supposedly another edition of this, issued by the same publisher, also featured Italian, absent here, and perhaps the entirety of verse also in French. The whole verse runs as an upper caption for the panorama. Front board is foxed and soiled. The backs of four folds discreetly reinforced. Scattered light soiling to the panels, but overall bright and vivid.
