Father Tuck’s Panorama was a British publishing house known for its illustrated children’s books, postcards, and greeting cards. The company, Raphael Tuck & Sons, operated from the 19th to the mid-20th century. Starting in 1905, Father Tuck’s published a series of playable Alice versions illustrated by Ada Leonora Bowley. You can find a version of Alice with movable pictures, a “come to life Alice” (pop up style), a whole book with many B&W illustrations and one colour plate ( printed circa 1930), or a later one published for the ” THE GOLDEN TREASURY LIBRARY ” collection with many more colour plates.

From 1910 there is also a red pictorial paper over boards, with 8 accordion pleated panels and 14 color illustrations. The original copies have prohibitive prices , but there is a new edition Published by B Shackman & Co in 2000 that offers an affordable version.

Ada Leonora Bowley was recognized by her work for the Raphael Tuck publishing house, which very often was not credited to her (has in the case of the early Father Tuck’s Alice editions) . She attended the Blackheath School of Art and was one of the ‘Golden Age illustrators’ (1880s to the 1930s), who together with her sister Sophia May Bowley, illustrated amazing versions of all the nursery tales you may remember.
