Engraved toy theatre
Engraved paper players on a stage hung with red velvet: a troubadour sings beside a wheel of medallions, then the curtains part on a blue sky and trumpeting angels. The figures switch between a few drawn poses like puppets.

Looks that sit near it
- Hand-coloured emblem engravingCut-outs from 17th-century emblem engravings, washed in blue and rose: a sun-headed man and a moon-headed woman whose hatched roots knot together under the soil. Angels blow trumpets from clouds while engraved birds fly in to the branches.
- Engraved cut-outs, after GilliamVictorian engravings drawn in code and hand-tinted, on hinged pieces over airbrushed skies. The boss rises like a moon and his lid flips open.
- Banknote engravingFine parallel lines whose width carries the shading, spirograph rosettes and red serials on cream security paper. He swells until the note bends.
- Old stencil-coloured tarotBlack outlines with flat colour that slips off the lines, on aged card. The camera moves into a card and its picture comes alive in stiff steps.
