[Movables] Seidmann-Freud, Tom (Martha Gertrud Freud). Das Zauberboot

Ein Bilderbuch zum Drehen, Bewegen und Verwandeln (Das neue Wunderhaus). Leipsic, by Spamer for Herbert Stoffer in Berlin, 1929, (6) lvs., w. num. col. ills., turnable disk, 4 handles, and template loosely inserted in rear pocket, orig. cloth-backed col. ill. boards, 24 x 20.7 cm. Without the red transparent foil in rear pocket. The turning disk intact, the handles present but w. clumsily repaired tears (discol. from sellotape), two of them functioning properly, the other two can be pulled out but do not generate visible movement in the image.When the leaf is held up to the light, it becomes apparent that the two handles are situated behind the pink backdrop of the central window, rather than in front of it. Some other internal and external imperfections.

The rare first edition of this nice movable book by Martha Gertrud Freud, a niece of Siegmund Freud. Bilderwelt im Kinderbuch 2062: "In diesen in der 30er Jahre äußerst erfolgreichen Kinderbuch kombiniert Thomas Seidmann-Freud Dreh-, Zieh- und Verwandlungsmechanismen auf höchst orginelle Art".
