Square octavo. (10)ff. Four beautifully preserved pop-ups open into double-page panoramas, permitting the viewer a peek into scenes of playful pastoralism, sometimes with anthropomorphized animals. The final pop-up shows children pretending to be stereotyped Native Americans, with bows and arrows and feathers in their hair. An Introduction by F. E. Weatherly and verses by E. Nesbit, F. Gray Severne, and L. L. Weedon accompany the pop-ups, along with line drawings in sepia. Inscription of former owner to front flyleaf. Bound in pictorial boards backed in blue cloth. Mild rubbing to corners; two half-inch tears at foot of third leaf and separation at gutter after that page. All pop-ups intact, including fragile and oft-damaged reins in first tableau. Near fine and bright.
