[MOVEABLE] The Museum of Natural Curiosities. London: G.A.H. Dean & Co., ca. 1844. Hand-painted moveable novelty card, showing a man perched on the tailgate of a horse-drawn wagon, peeping inside. When the tab is folded down, the rear of the wagon opens to reveal two tigers and a lion pushing the door back, the interloper falling to the ground. The title is printed below the wagon?s roof, with the caption ?If I could only get the door down? I should see them all for nothing.? below the scene, which shows a fairground in the distance. 12 1/2 x 10?. Mounted to a stiff card, with tiny chips to moveable tab and scattered soiling at edges. See Exemplars, p. 328. Dean was a member of a family of printers and claimed to be the inventor of children?s moveable books. This may be one of his first forays into the field.
