For anyone interested, the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut has just opened an exhibition of my collection of paper theaters, A Child's View: 19th-Century Paper Theaters. It will be on display until January 30, 2011.

Among the 33 complete theaters included are examples by Webb, Redington, Pollock, Scholz, Winckelmann, Engel, Schmidt & Romer, Schreiber, Kühn, Oemigke & Riemschneider, Trentsensky, Pellerin, Imagerie Dehalt, Mon Théâtre, Seix y Barral, Paluzie, Hernando, The Illustrated Family Journal, Jacobsen, Singer, McLoughlin, and Scott and Co. Also included are many English theatrical portraits and Engelbrecht peepshows.

The link below will take you to the press release and photo contact sheet. The booklet is available from the museum shop online.
