I care to be loved, I want to be loved

If you wanted to travel or learn a language in the 17th century this book would be a big help. It has phrases side by side in eight languages, and even has a different font for each one: Latin, Gallic, Spanish, Italian, English, Portuguese, Dutch and…what would Tevtonicæ be? Does anyone know?

Behold! A Telescope (or Tunnel) Book of the Crystal Palace

This book folds up neatly to appear as ‘Lane’s Telescopic View of the Ceremony of Her Majesty Opening THE GREAT EXHIBITION of All Nations Designed by Rawlins 1851′! Open it – meaning, in this case, lift the front cover up – and you’ll find yourself looking down a 3-D tunnel view.

From the JHU Libraries Catalog:

This ‘Telescopic View’ is made of printed paper and card, and is supplied in a slip-in card box. When you take the view out of the box, it opens with a concertina action, and you place it on a flat surface. When you view the internal scene through the little peep hole in the cover, you see a three dimensional view of the inside of the Crystal Palace in 1851, and the grand opening by Queen Victoria.

Opened on Broadway at the Morosco Theater March 24, 1955.

Playbill cover and title page from the week of June 27, 1955. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof had a run of 694 shows at the Morosco!

Title page from the playscript numbered internally by act. Bound into a blue folder, with label from “Anne Meyerson” typing service pasted onto top left corner. Typed on black ribbon with stage directions in red.
