Jointed Animals.

Cleaveland, Bess Bruce (illus.)

Chicago: Ideal School Supply Co., (c. 1930). Octavo. 10 loose sheets, along with instruction slip and original brass fasteners. Each sheet provides the young designer with an animal in parts, which can then be hinged together to create a paper doll. The animals range from the more domestic cow and sheep to the more exotic rhinoceros and giraffe. Bess Bruce Cleaveland's characteristically cartoonish but direct style lends itself well to the basic anatomies of the figures, and to the desired appeal to students. Remote foxing to few sheets, housed with all other materials in original green paper-covered box with pictorial label to upper lid. Trace rubbing to corners of box and two single tears, else near fine, with no copies listed in OCLC. Item #31778
