About This Item
[no place given - London? New York?]: [no publisher given], 1885. Accordion-style. Very good. Three transfer picture albums, bound accordion-style, each measuring about 4.5" x 3" (11.5cm x 7cm). Each volume contains a folded sheet of eight themed panels, which each contain six individual "Transfer pictures." When the pictures are unfolded and laid flat, they measure about 37" long altogether. These transfer pictures were designed for children to cut out and apply to paper (or general "articles", as noted on the rear wrap of each album, likely to the consternation of many parents). Of course, they could also be used as temporary tattoos, likely one of the earlier examples of the modern concept in Europe. The content is quite diverse, including animals, carriage scenes, soldiers, etc. Fragile as they are, they are quite well-preserved. The yapped edges are generally chopped and torn, but they are mostly complete, and internally only one or two small pictures have been excised. The interior to one of the wraps bears two of the transfers, demonstrating the effect. Overall, a very good group. These albums are certainly scarce in commerce, and we do not find any holdings of transfer picture albums uwith this title in any library, according to OCLC. Rare.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
