About this work

These prints bring a Chinese fairy tale to life. Prinzessin von China is the story, and Trentsensky turned it into two prints for a toy theatre. Toy theatres were a big hobby back then. People cut out the prints and staged plays at home. This was cheap family fun before movies or TV. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
