The secret carnival / by David Russell.

"This ingeniously crafted book has been assembled by hand and hand-coloured in watercolour, using the almost-forgotten process of pochoir, much loved by Parisian publishers and illustrators of limited editions in the 1920s and 30s. The pop-up figures are often animated by pulling tabs and, indeed, give a new meaning to the word 'pop-up'."--From accompanying publisher's advertisement.

Intricately folded pop-up book "an erotic fantasy set in Venice".

[London] : Hobart & Maclean, [1988]
