玩具百貨聖誕型錄立體書 - 賞析

書中立體旋轉木馬的設計採用1929年的封面. 書翻開書之後, 除了立體旋轉木馬可當耶誕裝飾外, 書頁上還藏了6個小吊飾在耶誕禮物的包裝下. 左半頁是這家老牌百貨公司的簡介; 簡介背面則是一本6頁小冊, 介紹耶誕老人的由來. 書背詳述了這般緣由:-

1920至1948的耶誕型錄封面

From 1920 to 1948, F.A.O. Schwarz commissioned leading illustrators of the time to create original artwork to be used as delightful covers of Holiday Catalogues. Now this vintage artwork from our archives lives on as an exquisitely crafted <strong>limited edition</strong> Holiday Treasury. With its intricately designed pop-up carousel collection of six removable Christmas tree ornaments, and <em>Histroy of Santa</em> booklet, the inspired Treasury is but the inaugural cornerstone of an annual series of exclusive limited edition collectibles and keepsakes which we hope will become a valued part of your holiday collection to be enjoyed by all for years to come.
