Off For The Holidays : Father Tuck's Panorama series

Issued by Raphael Tuck & Sons between 1907 and 1932 as part of Father Tuck’s “Panorama” Series. Printed in Bavaria. One of the hardest to find titles in the series.

Small octavo (4.8 by 3 inches)

Raphael Tuck and sons London- circa 1914-1932

Rare antique "punch out then pop-up" toy book

Hard to find in any condition. This one has all it's pictures and tabs. They have never been punched out! Everthing is there, including the instructions and the story text. The cover is seperated at the punch line - see photos.

Embossed chromolithographed card cover, concertina folded chromolithographed sheets with die-cut figures includes 8 punch out die-cut figures of trains and 8 punch out stands. On the reverse of the wrapper are the detailed assembly instructions, “How to Make Each Figure Stand Separately and Form Innumerable Tableaux.”

Collector's Corner:

Each little book in this series consists of the cover, then 1 page of detailed assembly instructions, "How to Make Each Figure Stand Separately and Form Innumerable Tableaux."
Next are 4 story text pages, then 5 chromolithographed panels of figures folded accordion style and opening to 15”. Finally there is a page of stands that the child can mount their toys on after punching them out. These little books were published without a conventional back cover – The plain gray stands on the last leaf serves as the book's lower wrapper.

Embossed chromolithographed card cover, concertina folded chromolithographed sheets with die-cut figures includes 8 punch out die-cut figures of trains and 8 punch out stands.
