Meggendorfer, Lothar. Lustiges Automaten-Theater. Meggendorfer Moveable Book. Stuttgart: J.S. Schreiber, ca. 1890s. Original pictorial cloth-backed boards. Eight animated lithographed illustrations, including the racially offensive black dandy, black nurse, as well as violinist, mandolin player, hunter, photographer and occupational scenes (churning butter and tailor). Folio. Tabs at bottom of each illustration control moving parts. Lacking one tab, some moving elements lacking or torn; most mechanisms not functional. Fair, but somewhat better than it sounds. Scarce.
