Another fabulous Nister pop-up! Victorians were fascinated by zoos (or zoological gardens as they were then called) and numerous books for children illustrated the various exotic animals to be found therein, but few with quite the panache of The Model Menagerie. Six detailed self-erecting pop-ups illustrate a serviceable text on each of the animals. In extraordinarily Fine condition with just a bit of exterior wear.
