History of the Dutch children's book in the nineteenth century. Myriorama or ‘Many Thousand Views’ consist of numerous cards depicting fragments or segments of landscapes people and buildings that can be arranged in a multitude of different combinations allowing a child to create a variety of imaginary landscapes. This ‘entertainment’ for ‘young ladies and gentlemen’ originated in France but was quickly adopted in other European countries. From wikipedia: Myriorama originally meant a set of illustrated cards which 19th century children could arrange and re-arrange forming different pictures. Later in the century the name was also applied to shows using a sequence of impressive visual effects to entertain and inform an audience. The word myriorama was invented to mean myriad pictures following the model of panorama diorama cosmorama and other novelties. These were all part of a wider interest in viewing landscape as panorama and in new ways of presenting "spectacular" scenes. The early myrioramas were cards with people buildings and other images on compatible backgrounds and could be laid out in any order allowing a child to create a variety of imaginary landscapes. Jean-Pierre Brès a French children's writer published an early version which he described as a polyoptic picture tableau polyoptique in the early 19th century and John Clark of London took up the idea and designed a set of cards he called a myriorama. Clark's "second series" myriorama an "Italian landscape" was produced in 1824 the same year as a similar set of English cards called a panoramacopia created by drawing teacher T.T.Dales.
