Lot Description
[Children's & Illustrated] (Brand, Theodor) Das Sprechende Bilderbuch...
(Sonnenberg, Germany, ca. 1900). 10th Edition. Folio. An endlessly entertaining speaking picture book, illustrated with eight chromolithographs of various barnyard animals, including birds, a cow, donkey, lamb, etc.; each with accompanying printed text, and with nine original corresponding pull tabs, that when activated recreate the sound of the animal. Publisher's red cloth-covered wooden box in the shape of a book, large chromolithographic cover label; all edges gilt, top and bottom edges with carved foliated sound vents.
A very well preserved, unsophisticated, and fully working example of this popular children's speaking picture book.
