This leporelloalbum, dating from 1888 to 1914, is a unique and intriguing artifact. Its form, mimicking a camera, directly relates to its function: containing 24 photomechanical prints of London cityscapes. These prints, created by an anonymous artist, likely depict the bustling urban life of the era, capturing the rapidly evolving metropolis. The album's compact size, measuring 110mm by 89mm by 179mm, suggests its intended use as a portable memento, allowing viewers to carry a piece of London's visual essence wherever they went. The album’s inscription, “Designed in England, printed at the works in Germany by G.D. & D.L.,” highlights the international collaboration in its production.
