Lyons, thanks for this - great find! But why is it listed as publisher unknown? It clearly says 'Dell Publishing' 1934 on the frontispiece. It's an adaption of the full-length animated movie version of Gulliver from the Max Fleischer studios. I'm wondering if the black and white illustrations were taken directly from the plates of the film? They have that look? [Ok, Just had a closer look.They are mostly signed TP and one TOM PALMER was a director of animation - there were a few- they are probably plates which he has signed off on during production ]
Here is an article on it from the Fleischer website.

I've seen copies of this film around on DVD but never realized its significance. Next time I see one I'll grab it. Actually, it just occurred to me, since it is in the public domain, it could be hosted on CB+.
While checking this out, I came across Thunderbean studios, who are restoring a lot of classic cartoons which some of you might like to check out.

Cheers.

Thunderbean is absolutely great. I have nearly everything they've put on on DVD. I think it's pretty much an on-demand DVD-R thing. Well worth it, though. I ordered the Gulliver's Travels BD when it first came out and it came with a few actual original frames from a print of the film!
