The Speaking Picture Book, F.A.O. Schwarz, New York, c.1890, eight chromo. pages, with related poems, foxed and finger-soiled, two openings strengthened at gutter with fabric tape, each page with corresponding "pull" to activate a sound effect (final page with two "pulls"), the mechanism concealed within a book-form box, the top and bottom edges of pierced wood gilt, dec. cloth covered boards, rubbed and soiled, rebacked, turned ivory finials to the pulls, oblong 4to. The sounds produced are that of the cock, the donkey, the lamb, the birds, the cow, the cuckoo, the goat, and mamma and papa. Unusually, this copy is complete with all the original ivory finials, and all the voices working. Haining calls this 'the piece de resistance of any collection of moveables' and adds that very few complete and fine copies have 'survived youthful hands.' (Haining, Moveable Books, pp.136/7) (1)
