Description:

Illustrated stiffly backed circular color plate with movable panels, depicting two scenes. (8vo) 24x22 cm (9½x8½"), boarded with silk ribbon with bows at corners.

Nice example of an illustrated Victorian "rollabout" panel, in which a tab along the circumference of the circle moves the panels to revel two different images. The first image is of three girls playing a game with a blindfolded collie, the other features a dog with a toothache seated on a velvet chair, with a smiling cat in the background. A caption at the bottom reads: "Toby‘s got the toothache, but as you can see, Carlo‘s playing Blindman‘s bluff, as happy as can be." Possibly from a book, the ribbon border may be a latter addition. Rear of panel covered in brown paper with ring attached for hanging. In working order.

Lots sold without reserve are sold “As Is” and are not returnable under any circumstances. The minimum shipping and handling per invoice is $20 for shipments to the US and $30 for shipments outside the US, please consider this when determining your bid amount.

Some toning, a spot of staining to ribbon, a few closed tears to paper on rear of panel; very good.
