Meinen Gluckwunsch!


As I was rummaging about in the archives today,
I came across this 3" X 4.5" 19th century card which
I thought was lost!
It's a rather unassuming looking flat card...


...until it's opened,
and it becomes this
amazing little 3-D scene.




The detail is wonderful for
such a a small thing. It has 
a tiny fold-out bracket to
support the back room.
And even though there
are a few scraps missing,
it's held up well over the years. 

(Loosely translated, I believe
"Meinen Gluckwunsch" means
My Good Wishes)
