Wooden Cube Puzzle
This is a wooden cube puzzle from about 1910-1920. It is presented in a good solid wooden box that has one of the six puzzle illustrations on it. The box measures 24 x 33.5 cm. Each puzzle cube measures 4.2 cm. and there are 35 cubes in total. The cubes can be turned to form one of six full colour pictures, each one depicting a scene of life during the first war. The scenes are as follows: 1) A picture of a British bi-plane fighter shooting down a German bi-plane. I think that they are a Vickers Gunbus and a Fokker respectively. The Fokker is descending to earth in flames and the Gunbus gunner is firing his gun. This is the picture on the front of the box (see attached photo). 2) A camp of Boy Brigade youths, with some sat around a camp fire in the fore ground and their tents in the background. 3) A scene of young children playing 'war' in the street. This looks to me like a French scene - the childrens clothing looks French and one of the children is holding up a makeshift French flag. Some others are holding up a white surrender flag. There are some children dressed as medical people, with red crosses on their clothes. There is even a dog with a red cross band on him. 4) The next seen seems to be in the Alps and is a soldiers camp. There are two young children talking to the soldiers. The uniforms do not look British - again maybe French? 5) This scene is in a farm yard, with a mother and her child feeding the geese and hens and the father in the background tending to his horse and cart. 6) The last scene is a battle at sea with a submarine being attacked by a naval ship. The ship has a red flag with a small union jack in the corner - I think that this was the Canadian ensign of the time, but I'm not sure. Illustrations 1-5 each have seperate pictures, the full size of the puzzle, and illustration 1 is on the cover of the box. They are illustrated by someone with the initials of JLF or JLP, I am not sure which and I do not know the illustrator. This is a wonderful example of that era, with pictures of both a personal and historical nature. Condition: The hinges on the wooden box are fine but the clasp is broken. There is a crack of about 8 cm on the front of the box. The picture on the front of the box has a tear to the top right corner and some scuffs. The five loose drawings are all in very good condition. The pictures on all of the cubes are intact although there is some foxing on them.

Tiger Tim's Annual 1952
London Amalgamated Press Ltd. 1951 Hardcover Very Good
This was the annual produced for the Playbox and Rainbow weekly comics. Contains the usual mixture of stories and games / quizzes. What strikes me is how unacceptable much of the content is by today's standards. There is the story - 'The School Plump Boy Enjoys a Boat Race Picnic', which is about Percy, the 'school fat boy'. And then there is Policeman Sambo, 'marching up and down his beat, seeing naughty little darkies do not run across the street.' What a difference 60 years makes! It also contains well known characters from the weekly comics: the Brownie Boys, Greedy Gregory, Porky and the Bruin Boys, Gollywogs, Charlie Cheese and Maurice Mouse to name a few. Christmas dedication on front pastedown and book belongs to filled in, no other marks. Corners worn, one corner slightly bent, backstrip faded. Otherwise this is a remarkably clean, inside and out and I suspect unread annual.

Divided into three main sections: Little Folks in Hot, Cool and Cold Lands, it really is quite a far ranging cultural study from a period in time, i.e. 1920. Everything is based upon the colour of the children, be it white, brown, black, red and yellow, but from this starting position there is a remarkable amount of social and cultural information that is explained. The illustrations really help the descriptions and it appears that some of the illustrations are based upon photographs. Corners worn, top / bottom of spine bumped.

ABC in Living Models Bookano Series Pop-up
[London] [Strand Publications] Hardcover Very Good + JH
[1934] An ABC book, this contains 7 double page pop-ups, some pages with 4 levels of pop-up and others with 3 levels, whereby each level presents a letter and an illustration to demonstrate the letter. So we have A and an Archer, B and a Baby and so on. Each letter and illustration stands up on the page when the page is opened. There are also verses printed around the page edges. This was published as the Daily Express ABC by [Lane] in 1932 and then was 'rebranded' as a Bookano ABC when Giraud established Bookano at Strand Publications in 1934. However the illustrations do not look English, more German or possibly Dutch, so it may well have been published elsewhere at an earlier date but I haven't been able to verify this as of yet. Note that there is no publication information within the book [not missing, just wasn't included] but I have that information from advertising literature published at the time. Blue cloth backstrip with paper covered boards. Bright orange illustrated end papers. 22 x 17 cm. Corners rubbed, backstrip slightly bumped and with an uneven colour. The interior is very good, verging on the fine with all pop-ups complete, working and clean.

Not dated, c. 1880. Twelve full page full colour Kronheim plates of pets from the home and country side (birds such as magpie, dove, swan; a fawn, lamb, cow, dogs, horse, rabbit etc). Supporting story text. It would appear that this is a compilation of two previously issued London Toy Books published by Warne: numbers 15 and 51.

Although now suffering damage the binding is very attractive with black and gilt embossed decoration with a laid down chromolithographic plate; blind embossing to lower board.Specific condition: Binding: Overall wear and staining to both boards; ffep missing and left edge of title page has been fixed to the front paste down end paper. The binding appears to be reasonably tight but it looks like someone might have reinforced it with glue at some point. Interior: Browning to the linen backs of several pages but the Kronheims themselves are in quite good condition. Some fraying to linen edges. Please note that due to the size of my scanner the photo does not show all of the front cover. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

London Adam and Charles Black 1905 First edition thus Hardcover Very Good George S. Elgood
Containing 16 colour plates of beautiful English garden scenes around Swinford Old Manor in Kent. Each plate is presented with a titled tissue guard.

It is written as a garden diary, following the months from April to October, and expresses his rather eloquent thoughts on the garden and life in general. Originally published in 1894, this is a completely new edition with the colour illustrations from the accomplished watercolour artist George S. Elgood.

Bacon, Mary Ann Flowers and Their Kindred Thoughts
London Longman & Co. 1848 Fifth Edition Relievo Leather Very Good Jones, Owen
A beautiful volume that has the double benefit of an Owen Jones Relievo binding and 15 full page chromolithographic plates (including decorated Colophon page), also by Owen. To start with the binding: Designed by Owen Jones and bound by Remnant Edmonds & Remnants. There are bevelled boards where the bevels are blocked with a curling stem and leaf decoration and the boards (front and rear) are thick with ivy leaves, berries and twigs blocked in blind and relief. The title to the front board is in gothic lettering based upon twigs. Gilt inside dentilles. Gilt edges. The front and rear end papers are on thick textured paper and have a gilt ivy / leaf / berry pattern. printed on upper endpaper verso, at the tail is: ' Bound by Remnant Edmonds & Remnants'. The interior presents 14 superb full page chromolithographic flowers, each associated with an attribute which is described in gilt gothic lettering on the opposite page (e.g. Snowdrop for hope, Primrose for innocence, Rose for love). The lithography is by E. L. Bateman. The overall condition of this volume is very good. Specific condition: There is some slight staining and scuffing to the outer cover (see photo). The front and rear hinges have been reinforced with a neat brown tape strip. There are one or two minor brown spots and one of the heavy pages is a bit loose, but still attached. There is a contents page but no title page present. Some additional background information that you may find of interest: Owen Jones worked for Thomas De La Rue on playing card design, and many of the chromolithograph flower illustrations in this book are to me reminiscent of his work on playing cards for De La Rue. Jones is best known as an interior and pattern designer although he was also an architect. He was superintendent of works at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and designer of the Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Alhambra Courts at Crystal Palace after its move to Sydenham in 1854. Together with Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt, Jones produced the vastly influential Grammar of Ornament in 1856. Leake's patented "Relievo" bindings, made of heavily molded and embossed leather left to its natural color, are usually associated with the English designer Owen Jones. Like papier-mâché bindings, "Relievo" bindings recall both medieval bindings and wood carvings and often occur on ecclesiastical books. The English trade binders Remnant & Edmonds were responsible for many known examples of "Relievo" work, winning a prize for them at the Great Exhibition of 1851. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Barrie, J. M. - adaptation Peter Pan pop-up
London Simon & Schuster 2008 First edition Hardcover As New Robert Sabuda
Another complex Sabuda creation! As you open up each of the six tableaux an amazing pop-up construction lifts from the page. I particularly like the Pirate's ship which is complete with mast and rigging! The text is contained in smaller booklets on the page edges, each page of these booklets also have their own pop-ups. The American Robert Sabuda must be one of the most inventive of today's pop-up designers and his books are some of the most complex. He has published over 30 pop-up books and many other children's books as an illustrator. This copy is in 'as new' condition.

Baum, Frank L. / Sabuda, Robert The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - a commemorative pop-up
New York Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing 2000 Hardcover Very Good + Robert Sabuda
Fabulous pop-up book of a children's classic that was published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the publication of the original book. Contains 7 quite complex pop-ups that have movable elements and exhibit a good variety of techniques. The story [abridged] is presented in a series of pockets placed around the main pop-ups and many of these pockets also contain smaller pop-ups - it really is quite an intricate book. I particularly like the tornado that rises out of the page spinning and the green tinted glasses to wear when looking at the Emerald City. Sabuda is one of the best known contemporary paper engineers and his pop-up books are very colllectible. Very good condition - all pop-up elements are complete, working and there are no mis-folds.
