Le Marché au beurre de Paris. = Der Buttermarkt in Paris. = The butter market of Paris..
[Germany? : s.n.,
183-?]
Title from front board.
Hand coloured lithograph concertina-folding peepshow in box has four cut-out sections on accordion fold that show the interior of the Paris butter market (Marché au beure, aux oeufs, et au fromage, St. Germain, erected in 1822). When expanded to 22 cm. the tunnel book shows activities such as buying and selling butter, eggs and cheese, deliveries of grain and produce, crowds and customers in the busy market building.
This appears to a smaller and simpler version of the peepshow described in Hyde, "Paper peepshows: the Jacqueline and Jonathan Gestetner collection", without the cartonnage box.
