This is a near-perfect 1980 Delacorte Press reproduction of Ernest Nister’s 1896 antique book The Children’s Tableaux. ISBN 0-440-01540-5. Hardcover with colorful pictorial boards. Features intricate three-dimensional pop-up scenes of anthropomorphic cats (musical performance, circus, academy), children at the beach, military geese, and a train station, plus accompanying poems. All pop-ups are fully intact, bright, and functional with zero defects—no writing, rips, tears, creases, or wear. Clean and complete as issued (no dust jacket, as typical for this title).

Printed and bound in Colombia by Intervisual Communications. A scarce high-condition example of this vintage pop-up.
