# Vintage 1970s "Heiriswil" Swiss Pop-Up Panorama Playbook Backdrop

Up for sale is a remarkably rare piece of vintage Swiss children's media and toy history: the **"Heiriswil" Spielbuch (Playbook / Panorama Backdrop)**. Published circa 1974–1976 by VAW (Verlag am Wasser) in Zürich, Switzerland, this beautiful piece was designed by Albert Ernst and illustrated by Röbi Reinfrank.

When closed, it looks like a large hardcover children's book. When opened, it folds out into a massive, multi-panel, 3D panoramic streetscape featuring a whimsical European village with German-labeled storefronts (such as "Hammer, Nagel, Holz & Co.").

This heavy-duty cardboard structure stands approximately 40 cm (15.75 inches) tall and serves as an incredible standalone display or a nostalgic backdrop for vintage diecast cars, wooden trains, or retro toy figures.

### Condition Notes:

* **Structural Integrity:** Excellent vintage condition. The folding panels and pop-up dimensional layers are intact and stand up beautifully on their own without collapsing.

* **Completeness:** Includes the main multi-panel folding village board exactly as pictured. (Please note: Any original outer slipcase or punch-out paper figures are not included).
