Description
7 col. plates.; 23 x 16 cm.
Alternative Title
Vue perspective du tunnel sous la Tamise
Subject
  • Tunnels > England > London
  • Thames Tunnel (London, England)
Note
  • In case, as issued.
  • Titles from two printed paper labels on case.
  • A double telescopic peepshow with two viewing holes, showing river view and tunnel underneath. The "plates" are actually six cutout panels, connected top, bottom, and center by paper.
  • Possibly issued at the time the tunnel was begun (1825). The costumes shown seem to date from that period. In any case, a hypothetical view: horses and carriages are shown, although ramps were never constructed to carry them to the entrance of the tunnel.
