[Enfantina, Livre à système] Henriot, Album magique à surpri - Lot 828
[Enfantina, Livre à système] Henriot, Album magique à surprises et changements à vue. Paris, Marpon et Flammarion, sd [1889]. In-16, 70 drawings by Henriot. Curious book with notches in the outer margin. The book was described at the time as follows: "Simply leaf through this album by changing the position of the thumb, without pressing hard, to obtain transformations of the drawings. Depending on where you place your thumb, as indicated by small notches on the edge of the book, different sequences of color images appear: a figure in a top hat, a devil, figures in Chinese shadow, a military figure, a landscape...". (Dussert & Walbecq, Les 1001 vies des livres, 2014). Advertisements of the period state "rich cartonnage". It is indeed highly decorated. Full embossed paper boards, a little aged, minor wear on the spines. Very rare work, here in fine condition.
