Eight panels with cut outs (6 1/8 x 7 1/2 inches; 155 x 190 mm). Joined together by cloth bellows. The first panel with a peep hole. Measures approximately 27 inches when opened. In the original decorated paper board slipcase with hand-colored lithographed label pasted on front. Some soiling to front and back panels and slipcase. Minor discoloration to cloth. Light foxing to margins of panels. Overall, a very good example in the rare original slipcase. The back of the final panel reads "This faithful and interesting View is taken from the Transept, near the "Crystal Fountain", and embraces the whole length of the Foreign Nave, or Eastern end of the Exhibition. The most striking objects which present themselves to the spectator along the centre nave are: 1. THE PORTRAIT OF HER MAJESTY, painted on Sèvres China. 2. THE KOH-I-NOOR DIAMOND, in its Gilt Cage. 3. THE COLOSSAL STATUE OF QUEEN VICTORIA, cast in Zine. 4. THE BRONZE FOUNTAIN, by André Val of d'Osne. 5. THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL OVERTHROWING SATAN. 6. THE COLOSSAL STATUE OF GODFREY DE BOUILLON. 7. KISS'S AMAZON AND TIGER. 8. THE BAVARIAN LION. 9. THE GREEK SLAVE. The View is terminated by the United States' Compartment, with the trophy of articles in vulcanized indian-rubber erected upon the model of a suspension-truss-bridge. Under the Star-spangled banner and Eagle of America, which float on high, at the extreme end of the building, is placed Gray and Davison's splendid organ." HBS 69591. $2,250.
