Although the concept of shadow play and puppetry dates back to antiquity and is especially prevalent in Chinese Thai Cambodian and Southeast Asian tradition shadow puppetry came to Europe at the end of the 17th century. French showman FranÃ§ois Dominique SÃ©raphin first presented his shadow play in a hÃ´tel particulier in Versailles in 1771 going on to perform in front of royalty at Versailles. In 1784 SÃ©raphin moved to Paris giving regular shows at the Palais-Royal. His nephew took over the show when he died and his heirs continued the performances until the theatre closed in 1870. Following on this popularity around the turn of the century several French publishers put out portable Chinese shadow "games" meant for personal and home use. Some were even included in the catalogs of the famous department stores La Samaritaine and Au Bon MarchÃ©. Mauclair Dacier was foremost among these producers distributing beautiful and elaborate shadow play theaters. The six punched paper scenes included in this theater are: Revue Navale en l'Honneur du Couronnement du Roi d'Angleterre; l'ArrivÃ©e d'Ãdouard VII a Paris; Couronnement du Rou d'Angleterre; la Loie Fuller ou la Danse Serpentine; Pont Alexandre III Exposition 1900; and FÃªtes du Centenair de Victor Hugo. unknown books
