See 100 Years of Oz by John Fricke p.43 where he notes “The Oz Toy Book was drawn by the inimitable Neill as a promotion for the series.

Today, few of the fragile Toy books survive intact or complete.” See also Oz Scrapbook by BANNERMAN, HELEN SEE ALSO 338 Greene and Martin p.41-3, 47.

Emett [1906-1990] was a British artist and designer of “kinetic” sculptures. His work is probably most recognizable as the inventions Dick Van Dyke made as Caratacus Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Many of his pieces feature whimsical trains and he actually built train sculptures as well as other sculptural machines that are in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian and other museums.

As to your observation regarding the blanks in the text, we will do our utmost to fill them in. I admit that I have not understood what you mean by “military Decoration of 11 lines added on the sleeve of the uniform”. Are they modern designs? This would not be at all in my plan. If they are old and you could communicate them to us (providing that they are not already known) we would be very happy if you could let us have them. As to the flag, we show those which we have seen, but there are very few documents on this subject. Mr. Hollander, a member of the Sabretache, has just completed a very well documented study on the flags from 1804-1812 - I think it will be published by Berger Levrault.

This is a great form of a child’s theatre called a cyclorama that became popular in the 19th century. This example is circa 1880 with no publication information given.

Inside the box is the theatre just slightly smaller than the box. There are 2 doors that open in the center. Both sides of the doors are chromolithographed and one section describes the 22 scenes that the theatre will reveal. The theatre is complete with a separate folding proscenium 11 inches high that attaches to slots on the top of the doors and there are 2 stand - alone side pieces of African natives for decoration. Once opened there is a stage with a large window protected with a clear covering. On the top edge of the theatre are slots into which one inserts the crank, that by turning, enables the child to view each of the 22 scenes. The scenes are on one very fine chromolithograph wound on a spool. By turning the crank the viewer is treated to a show detailing the trials and tribulations involved in such a grand trip. This is a wonderful child’s theatre in amazingly nice condition. It is complete with both of the wings and crank which often go missing when copies turn up. $7500.00

FANTASTIC SMITH ORIGINAL ART 444. SMITH,E.BOYD.ORIGINAL ART: ANOTHER OUTLINE, OR THE STRANGE STORY OF DENNIS THE O’GEOGHEGAN. Offered here is an original watercolor done by Smith for an unpublished book. Done in the same size and format of his Early Life of Mr. Man, circa 1910. It measures 11 1/2” wide by 9 3/4” high and is matted with the visible image measuring 10” x 8 1/2”. The image is a tongue in cheek look at evolution with a simian (gorilla) portrait side by side with a human portrait whose face shows that we haven’t evolved too much from the monkeys. O’Geoghegan is so clearly an Irish name that this could be Smith’s insult, hopefully with good humor rather than with malice. Both portraits are embedded in the evolutionary tree. Below this are various prehistoric animals including dinosaurs and a mastodon. Typical of Smith’s work but with more of an edge resulting in a piece that is fun to look at. Smith has a prominent place in the history of American picture books.
