"FLIPBOOKS" -- Hokus-Pokus ... Blow Book or Magic Picture Book, amusing and interesting for young and old, [Germany: n.d.]. 8° (156 x 105mm). Text in German, English, French, Dutch and Russian, plates, most coloured lithographs. Original cloth-backed coloured pictorial wrappers.
With another flipbook entitled Bilder Zauberei (in its rather worn original slipcase). The books are "flipped" by holding different points along the fore-edge and thereby revealing a different set of illustrations with each "flip." It is therefore possible to view a series of geometric patterns, a stamp "album", animals, silhouettes or comic characters depending upon the position in which the book is held. (2)
