"Bonheur et Prosperité" Hidden Mechanism Moveable

France: Early 19th cent. A clever greeting card with hidden mechanism on the verso. The front reads, "Bonheur et Prosperité" ("Happiness and Prosperity"). When a small tab is pushed on the verso, the gentleman holding a large bouquet of flowers on the front bows, revealing a horrified and caricatured woman in the background raising a slipper to hit him with (perhaps he was too forward?). Measures approx. 4.75" by 3.25" Very good. Some dust soiling, a couple points of wear.

Price: $300.00
