The envelope on the back containing all the movable figures states:
How To Set Up Your Zoo.
HERE you have a Zoo all of your own with the cages and grounds just as they are in the real Zoological Gardens, and In the pocket at the back of Ibis book you will find the animals and birds with the visitors and keepers, all complete. Now you stand up the panorama and insert all these objects into the slots which are marked with numbers corresponding to those on the figures. A great many scenes can be formed by putting the animals and birds into different cages and places, and you will find it nearly as interesting as a Visit to the London Zoo, and this, your own Zoo, you can visit every day. These are the names, in English, French and Spanish, of all the animals in the pocket, so while you are having a game you can be learning something at the same time.

Other notes:
*Between 1900 and 1910 Date of publication understood from publisher's imprint, cf. Blair & Margaret Whitton's Collector's guide to Raphael Tuck & Son, p. [6]. Published during the reign of King Edward VII.
We can further narrow the date down by this "introductory editorial" introducing the new panorama books in 1908:
From The American Stationer, Volume 64 Howard Lockwood, 1908 - Stationery trade page 26:
"The picture panorama is the latest novelty for children put on the market by Raphael Tuck & Sons, These panoramas come in colored booklets, each one containing a number Of figures arranged for cutting out and standing up apart. like the Old fashioned paper soldiers. But the figures are more attractive than those play-
things of the last generation ; they come in a greater variety of subjects and are profusely colored. The figures in each book- let make a part of a series of tableaux illustrating fairy stories, etc. Many Of the booklets contain birds and Wild and exotic animals. They are well drawn and colored perfectly, showing a regard for accuracy that ought to make some Of the "nature fakirs" feel envious."
We have another Raphael Tuck Panorama using a similar cover image as this one – but with a very different type of movable inside. See site.

Following the image below is a list of other Tuck panoramas with separate figures to insert into slots.
Dating each edition depends on publishers info on back. Some of the early ones were reprinted in the 1920's and or 90's.
We are very appreciative of the website TuckDB Ephemera when it comes to researching Raphael Tuck. The image below came from their website and was taken from Raphael Tucks 1928 "WORLD'S ART SERVICE" catalog.

Dating the panoramas - In 1893, Queen Victoria granted the firm the Royal Warrant of Appointment. Tuck cards thereafter bore the message, “Art Publishers to Her Majesty the Queen”. Thus,this imprint means it was published during the reign of Queen Victoria - on or after June of 1893 and before 1901. Future publications would continue to reflect whoever held the throne at the time. In 1894 LTD was added, so look for that - or missing that, as well.
We greatly appreciate the wisdom of other collectors who email us to comment, add titles, or make corrections. We welcome any additional input to this list sent to [email protected]
