About This Item
Ernest Nister, nd (c1890) 1890. 1st Edition. Hardcover. VG. 1st Edition. Nister code No. 1860. Brown cloth backed pictorial boards 19 x 25.5 cm blue and white decorative endpapers. Unpaginated (14) with black and white images within the text and 6 colour moveable pictures each activated by a tab. The images illustrate, Little Red Riding Hood, Humpty Dumpty, Little Bo-Peep, Hey Diddle Diddle, Mother Hubbard and The Three Bears. As the tab is pulled, the first colour illustration lifts to reveal a second colour illustration and as the tab is pulled again, a third and final colour illustration is revealed. The boards have a little rubbing with minor loss to the spine tips and a little rounding to the corners with a few scratches to the boards. Internally there is reinforcement to both hinges. There is a little uniform toning to the pages. All the pictures are complete and 5 of the 6 are in full working order with the Little Bo-Peep images not lifting without help. There are small closed tears to the the top corner of 3 of the 'frames' for the pictures and small loss to the corner of the pull tab for Little Red Riding Hood. All in all very good complete copy of this very scarce moveble picture book. Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.
