The Hole book


Do you know the Hole book written and illustrated by Peter Newell ? (New York, Harper & Brothers, 1908 )
A real hole goes trough the book and is at the same time the topic of the book.
A surprising feat of graphic edition ! See for yourself ! You must click on the hole to turn each page....

Peter Newell was a real genius of illustration but is now long forgotten.
I borrowed the link from mr. Marco Graziozi.
