    Description

    Colour Plates, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    A pop-up book in the original quarter cloth and pictorial paper boards.

    This copy is undated. Dated here using Jisc, from a copy of a different work from the same series held at the Victoria and Albert Museum Libraires. 

    Raphael Tuck & Sons was founded in 1866, selling pictures, greeting cards, and postcards. They started publishing books with pop-ups from the 1890s. The books in the series A Father Tuck “Come-to-Life” Little Book were small and each had two fan-folded pop-ups.

    This volume, illustrated throughout by Dinah, includes two charming double-page fold-out panoramas, both preserved in full working order. Collated, complete.

    Condition

    In the original quarter cloth and pictorial paper boards. Externally, very smart. Slight rubbing to extremities. The odd very slight handling mark to boards and one or two spots. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean, with a few light spots and handling marks heavier to first and last few leaves. Pop-ups in full working order.

    Very Good
