Fold-out Book, "Cinderella," 1891
Add to SetSummary
In 1891, the McLoughlin Bros. publishing firm patented this arch-shaped variant of the rectangular "pantomime" books available at the time. Pantomime books depicted a theater during a live stage show. Readers turned the pages to reveal each new scene as a family of theatergoers -- printed behind the cover flaps -- watched the "play" unfold.
