Publication details: Desmond Harmsworth,1932,
Rare Book
An unusual book: Danish sculptor Adam Fischer took tableau-style photographs of his daughter Tora's toys for the amusement of her and her friends (and, one suspects, himself); having used the pictures to form a narrative, which he would relate whilst showing them on a screen, he and his wife realised it could be set down in book-form for wider enjoyment. It is a simple enough idea, with touches of the surreal in its execution befitting the experimental nature of his sculptural work.
FIRST EDITION, ff. 40, 4to, original quarter green cloth with boards illustrated with photographs by Fischer, ownership inscription to flyleaf, dustjacket repeating board design, frayed with loss to backstrip ends and at foot of rear panel, good
