Title from publisher's slipcase. Place from front cover (below the peep-hole)
Telescopic, hand-colored, etched peepshow with one viewing hole, comprising a front cover, six cut-out images, and a backdrop, connected at the top and bottom by bands of contemporary blue paper, folded accordion-style.
The front cover shows a landscape with trees and a stream, while the six cut-out images reveal scenes with human figures and sheep, cows, and a donkey. A fountain preceeds a pastoral estate on the backdrop. Probably printed by H.F. Müller, Kunsthändler, Wien, based on other works with the same title, such as an earlier teleorama, depicting Sanssouci in Potsdam (Füsslin, Marlborough)
