Description
Paris: A. Capendu, 1890. Hardcover. Very good. Folio. Publisher's cloth-backed boards illustrated in color. The text block is loose but holding. Six full page movable illustrations with captions in French. The boards are soiled and worn at the edges. The movables are complete and in working order, though there is some minor creasing. Several of them have repaired closed tears above the tab ends. All in all this is a very good exemplar of a Meggendorfer movable. Montanaro, p. 19, records the English edition, "Artistic Pussy and her Studio", ascribing a date of "189-?" .

Description
Schenectady, New York: The Dr. Williams Medicine Co, 1897. Very good. Light toning, spotting, a couple short tears.. An advertising booklet promoting patent medicines, including "Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People" and "Hanson's Magic Corn Salve". The bulk of the booklet is taken up by a dictionary of "over 10,000 words and definitions, carefully compiled from Webster, Worcester and Johnson". Also includes a calendar for the year 1898, and stories and testimonials from happy customers/patients, with small in-text line drawings throughout to illustrate the stories. Afflictions cured include everything from dyspepsia to sleeplessness and illnesses "peculiar" to the "female sex". It is clear that the company is marketing its products to housewives and families, as it contains sentimental and feel-good stories of afflicted children, mothers, and a girl in her teens being cured. A nice example of the kind of advertising ephemera one might pick up from the pharmacy or in the mail at this time. Single vol. (9" by 6"), pp. 32, illus., in original illus. wrps with line drawing of young girl reading with Father Time, surrounded by images of famous lexicographer.
