TELESCOPIC VIEW
The telescopic view was a very popular optical amusement in 19th century Europe. It originated in 19th century England in the Victorian era.
It consists of dividing a scene into several planes that are placed along a bellows, one after the other. When looking through the hole in its cover and with the bellows extended, we can appreciate the scene in all its depth.
There were many motifs used: landscapes, battles, urban scenes, etc.
Ours is a perfect reproduction of the original dated 1851 and which represents the inauguration of the universal exhibition that took place in London that same year in the halls of the Crystal Palace, precisely by Queen Victoria of England.
It comes in a beautiful case also a reproduction of the original.
