Theatre Peepshow, ca 1730-1756 | Paper Theater or Diorama, made up of several sheets representing different scenes. This scene is titled ‘De buitenplaats’, the country estate and shows a house with garden and fountain.
Paper theater or diorama, made up out of several sheets representing different scenes. Together they form a three-dimensional view. Windows have been cut into the individual sheets to reveal details of the scene. The prints have been hand colored. Etchings and watercolor. Size of the sheets: 8 x 9,5 cm.
This theatre spectacle consists of 6 sheets, numbered on the back. Not sure if it is complete as there are 2 sheets with number 3. Maybe it was possible to change the number 3 sheet in order to diverse a bit. The set shows a mansion/estate house with a garden with people and a large fountain. Also a lady in a Victorian dress (Victoriaanse jurk) in a prieel, a gazebo, a port with pillars and garden statues.
The sheets are in good condition, the small paper parts are a bit fragile but still intact. Very attractive decorative paper art object.
