Poppentheater met dierfiguren c. 1855 - 1870

"Poppentheater met dierfiguren" (c. 1855-1870) by Charles Segoffin is a stereoscopic photograph that depicts a man in a top hat holding a toy gun, posed with various dolls. The man's exaggerated facial features, perhaps meant to be humorous, have been interpreted by some as potentially racist. This image, as a stereograph, was likely intended to be viewed through a stereoscope to create a three-dimensional illusion, a popular viewing experience in the 19th century.
