The Jolly Jump-Ups Favorite Nursery Stories McLoughlin Bros 1942 Pop-Up Book

About this piece

DESCRIPTION A charming first edition of The Jolly Jump-Ups Favorite Nursery Stories, published by McLoughlin Bros. in 1942 and illustrated by Geraldine Clyne. This beloved movable book features six colorful three-dimensional pop-up scenes bringing classic nursery tales to life. Well-preserved examples with complete, functioning paper engineering have become increasingly sought after by collectors of vintage children's books and pop-up books. WORTH NOTING This is an older children's pop-up book, so the charm is in both the artwork and the surviving paper-engineered scenes.

COLLECTOR NOTE A sweet display piece for collectors of vintage children's books, nursery-story illustration, and early pop-up books. FROM THE HOUSE Selected for its storybook color, dimensional illustrations, and old-fashioned nursery charm. ~ Genevieve
