Soft Wraps. Condition: Fine. David Levinthal (illustrator). A FINE, bright, clean, tight, collector-worthy copy sans flaws. PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in full color photography. In "Small Wonder: Worlds in a Box," David Levinthal takes as his subject a remarkable series of 1950s playsets manufactured by master toymakers Louis Marx and T. Cohn. As a reflection of the obsessive play of the 1950s and the current nostalgia for such items, Levinthal's tabletop photography allows the reader a bird's-eye view of imaginary tableaux-Legionnaire Captain Galland in the desert, Fort Apache and the Wild West, boy scouts camping in the woods, and travelers making a stop at a roadside Howard Johnson's. Playset vignettes are like stills from a movie of American popular culture's collective unconscious." 160 pages. "In the book's introduction, David Corey explores the history of playsets and their effect on American children in the 1950s. Playsets transformed visual culture, he says, much like Walt Disney did with the creation of Disneyland". LBCMD2.
