Ingenious novelty book (1 resultados)

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good Condition. Peter Newell's wonderfully inventive illustrated children's book, first published in 1908 (this copy 1918), following the extraordinary adventures of a bullet accidentally fired by a young boy. A real hole pierced through every page traces its comical progress through a succession of increasingly absurd scenes. Celebrated for its ingenious design, lively illustrations and visual humour, the book is a classic of early 20th century novelty publishing. Publisher's original green cloth with large coloured pictorial paper label to front board, plain spine. Copyright dated 1908, with publisher's printing code D-S, identifying April 1918.
