This is a tunnel book from the 1896 Great Exhibition of Berlin, and it is one of the finest ones I have to offer. The view is spectacular with incredible detail and even a rear window.
Through the peep hole you'll see a three dimensional view of the items being displayed at this historic world's fair, held in Berlin in 1896. Popular among those items were electric machines (Electricity first came to Berlin in 1884), hats, pottery, parasols, and a whole assortment of things for sale. The most popular attraction at the fair was the massive refractor telescope - one of the world's largest at the time.
Featuring an expanding optical illusion design, the book creates a mesmerizing visual experience that will transport you to another era.
Crafted with immaculate attention to detail, this rare and delicate piece of history is a 3D snapshot of a more bucolic time for Berlin prior to WW1 and WW2.
This enchanting little device allows you to experience that day as if you were standing there now. Most antique tunnel books increase considerably in value over time. They are extremely rare and fragile, and those that still include the original slipcase are even more sought after.
This one has a slip case. It will arrive carefully packaged.
