Set book for the opening of the first world exhibition in London in 1851

A scenery book is a fold-out picture book that gives the impression of a stage by staggering various scenery and people on display for the viewer after opening . Backdrops and people are printed in color on one side of light cardboard and punched out and arranged one behind the other in a frame determined by the format of the scenery book.

Backdrop books can not be opened from the side, but connected by rabbets cardboard sheets are like a Leporello pull apart concertina.

Set books are mostly intended for children, but can also be found as book objects by visual artists.

A backdrop album is a photo album that contains specially assembled pages with cut-out windows into which photos of standardized formats , drawn up on cardboard from the edges of the page , could be inserted. Such albums were common between 1870 and 1910.
