Amongst the most elaborate and (alas) under-appreciated pop-ups of the past forty years are those issued by the National Geographic Society from the mid-80’s through the mid-90’s. Playful Pandas is one of their best and depicts the behaviors, life-cycles, and characteristics of pandas world-wide. Stunning full color pop-up and movable illustrations by David Carter are brought to life by paper engineer James Roger Diaz. A first edition in Fine condition and signed by Carter on the first page.
