Such pages were illustrations designed to be cut out and folded to create action scenes, with four “movies” per issue. Since these were intended to be toys, intact uncut examples are scarce. Peter Newell was an important American illustrator and children's author known for inventive novelty books and comic fantasy imagery, and this page reflects the early 20th-century popularity of interactive magazine entertainments for children. Newell’s paper-toy work is also held by the Strong National Museum of Play. 20” x 16”
