Écran-panorama (or panorama handscreen) depicting six scenes from French theater, circa 1825. The screen surrounding the panoramic image depicts theater-goers in their boxes and a pit orchestra. Each scene is briefly captioned. Two of the captions appear to refer to plays -- La chasse au renard and Barbe-bleue -- while a third (Les cuisinières) may refer to a scene from the play William Tell. The other scenes name notable actors and performers of the day: Bernard Léon, (Charles) Mazurier, Pitrot, and Elie.
