    Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Gerta Ries (illustrator). This lavish childrens book was possibly inspired by Dreamland, Coney Island which flourished as a pleasure park between 1903 and 1911. Not to be confused with Dreamland Margate which while predating it from 1860 was not branded Dreamland until 1920. The book is illustrated by Gerta Ries (1898-1948) and from the style dates from the 1920s. Thee are seven delightful pictures each making a double page spread on what appears to be heavy card. This in fact is two thinner sheets laminated together allowing the top sheet to have slots into which can be placed cut out cardboard dollies allowing the children to make their own story line. There are 42 dollies kept in a separate envelope of which there maybe a few ahort. The V&A copy has 49. Book size 340x280mm landscape.

    Mit 7 doppelblattgroßen farblithographierten Tafeln und 50 Einsteckfiguren von Gerta Ries, 28 x 33,5 cm, Farbig illustrierter Originalhalbleinwandband, VlgsNr. 32 Außerordentlich seltenes Stalling-Bilderbuch mit Einsteckfiguren in der Art des "Nürnberger Puppenstubenspielbuches" oder "Aus dem kleinen alten Städtchen". Unter den Doppeltafeln 4 Strophen mit je 4 Zeilen. - Vorliegendes Werk scheint für den amerikanischen Markt hergestellt oder zumindest bearbeitet worden zu sein, da z.B. die Einsteckfigur des Orchesters farbige Musiker darstellt und die Figur eines Rikscha-Fahrers ebenfalls ein Farbiger ist. - Die Zuschreibung an Gerta Ries als Illustratorin ergibt sich aus der amerikanischen Ausgabe "Dreamland. New York, Atlantic Book, 1925" (siehe Cotsen 9299); dort ist die Illustratorin auf dem Einband genannt. Von der vorliegenden deutschen Ausgabe gibt es offensichtlich zwei Titelversionen gleichen Inhalts: außer der vorliegenden Ausgabe "Der Jahrmarkt" noch den bei Cotsen 9300 angegebenen Titel "Im Lunapark"; letzterer aber ohne Text. Das Werk erschien auch in Leporellofaltung. - Die Angaben bei Liebert 32 und Klinkow/Scheffer 32 sind falsch! - Sehr gut erhaltenes Exemplar, das in diesem Zustand und der großen Anzahl der Einsteckfiguren von größter Seltenheit ist.
