Histoires pour Rire
Paris: A. Capendu, n.d. (ca, 1890). Hardcover. Very good. Item #21853 .
Folio. Publisher's cloth-backed boards illustrated in color. The text block is loose but holding.
Six full page movable illustrations with captions in French. The boards are soiled and worn at the edges. The movables are complete and in working order, though there is some minor creasing. Several of them have repaired closed tears above the tab ends. All in all this is a very good exemplar of a Meggendorfer movable.
Montanaro, p. 19, records the English edition, "Artistic Pussy and her Studio", ascribing a date of "189-?"
Price: $1,500.00
