Im Sommer, ein Bilderbuch [cover-title], 6th edition, Munich: Braun and Schneider, circa 1890, six double-page panels, mounted onto 12 board/card sections (the first and last sections forming the covers), and joined into one continuous strip to form a panorama, the hand-coloured scene with rhyming couplets beneath, folded concertina style with cloth hinges, paper splitting along most hinges, cover hinges slightly splitting and ends a little worn, variable toning and spotting, 37.7 x 19.1cm unfolded, front cover with hand-coloured pictorial paper label (lightly soiled) (Qty: 1) A rare early edition of this scarce Meggendorfer panorama.
