An early 20th-century movable book featuring four animated color lithographed scenes and accompanying text, retelling the classic Puss in Boots. This edition precedes later issues by the Pictorial Color Book Company (post-1920), which often replaced the original imprint.
Edition Note: No printed date. Research suggests this edition was first issued by Sully and Kleinteich around 1914. After 1920, the Pictorial Color Book Company (PCB) reissued the book, often pasting their name over the original publisher. This listing is for the original Sully and Kleinteich edition.
Collector’s Corner: One of several titles in Sully and Kleinteich’s Moving Picture Books series, which also included Little Red Riding Hood, The Performing Bears, The Night Before Christmas, and The Circus (each sold separately).
