The MYRIORAMA (Second Series), consisting entirely of 



Italian ScJBNERy. Designed by Mr. CLARK. 



The Second Series is capable of even greater variation than the First, as 

 the number of Cards is increased from 16 to 24. The changes or variations 

 which may be produced by these 24> Cards, amount to the astounding and 

 almost incredible number of «20>44S,40 1,733,239,439,360,000. Price U. 4s. 

 in an elegant box. 



OPINIONS OF THE WORK. 



We noticed the first of these prodactions, 

 imported and improved from the Continent, 

 with high commendations ; and this second 

 attempt only teaches us to sti-engthen our 

 terms of praise. The design forms in every 

 respect a very elegant and extremely pleasing 

 entertainment — if that may be styled enter- 

 tainment, from its endless variety, which 

 combines the most fanciful associations and 

 much that is admirable in art- 



We may repeat, for the information of 

 such of our readers at a distance from the 

 metropolis as the Myriorama has not yet 

 reached, that it consists of a series of (in 

 the present case 24) slips, painted in land- 

 scape, and susceptible of being arranged in 

 millions of forms — two, six, or twenty, mak- 

 ing but one landscape. The immense diver- 

 sity thus produced, the endless displays of 

 subjects full of taste, the curious as well as 

 beautiful groupings and associations — in short, 

 the whole scope of the invention is so excel- 

 lent, that we can truly say we are not ac- 

 qaainted with a more refined or improving 

 pastime, especially for youthful females, than 

 it offers. We could give a myriad of good 

 words to the Myriorama. — Literary Gazette. 



We have lately seen a most beautiful pre- 

 sent for a young Lady on her return home 

 for the ensuing Midsummer Vacation. We 

 can safely recommend it to such as wish 

 to promote the amusement of their children 

 of either sex. — Morning Herald. 



We have been much pleased with the 

 Myriorama, (Second Series) which consists 

 entirely of Italian Scenery, and by a pe- 

 cuUar art and ingenuity is made to embrace 

 fae-similes of almost all the monuments of 

 antiquity, besides the wild and romantic views 

 in that lovely country. It is impossible to 

 speak too Irighly of this curious discovery, 

 which by merely changing the position of 

 a card, produces interminable variety, and 

 i« an inexhaustible source of entertainment. 

 —Morning Chronicle. 



We have been highly pleased with the Se- 

 cond Series of the Myriorama, just published. 

 It consists of twenty-fonr cards, on which are 

 painted fragments of landscapes, so con- 

 trived, that on two or more sections being 

 placed together, a pleasing view is pro- 

 duced. The variations of scenery (which is 

 chiefly Italian, and of great beauty) are 

 almost endless j aud the javention may be 



safely recommended as one afierding admi" 

 rable subjects for drawing, and supplying a 

 fund of rational amusement. — British Press. 



The Myriorama. A Second Series of 

 this elegant publication has made its appear- 

 ance. This might have been expected, from 

 its being go well calculated to amuse juvenile 

 amateurs of the Fine Arts. Indeed it is not 

 easy to conceive any contrivance that can for 

 an indefinite time furnish such a fund of en- 

 tertainment to young folks. It consists, as 

 we stated on the appearance of the First 

 Series, of sections of landscapes on cards 

 neatly coloured, and so contrived that any 

 two or three or greater number of them, 

 placed in any order whatever, produce an 

 agreeable picture. To ring all the changes 

 (as we might call it) on these cards, 24 in 

 number, of which they are susceptible would 

 require millions of millions of years. It is 

 tlierefore well named The Myriorama. — Star. 



A Second Series of this interesting little 

 work has just been published by Mr. Leigh 

 of the Strand, fully equal if not superior to 

 the first in point of execution. It consists 

 entirely of Italian scenery, and preserves 

 that almost endless variety of land»cape 

 wliich constituted one of the principal fea- 

 tines of the former Series. The transposition 

 of any one of the cards effects a complete 

 change in the picture, and the views may 

 thus be multiplied ad infinitum. It is de- 

 signed with considerable taste, and altogether 

 does great credit to the Artist, Mr. Clark. 

 The leading features of Italian Scenery are 

 very well introduced, and the romantic beau- 

 ties peculiar to the delightful regions of Italy 

 form a constant and pleasing variety. The 

 idea is not, however, altogether new; the 

 French have, we believe, long been amused 

 by similar changes of heads, and in a still 

 more remote quarter, tlie Chinese have foe 

 the amusement of their children a toy com- 

 posed of moveable boards, which, by being 

 reversed, present-to the eye a constant as- 

 semblage of sprawling dragons, and other 

 monsters of the Chinese school. The My- 

 riorama has, however, the merit of being an 

 improvement upon tlie original idea, and 

 from the beauty of the design and execu- 

 tion, is calculated not only for the amusement 

 of children, but will also afford a seasonable 

 gratification to persons of a more advanced 

 age, and more matured intellect,— 6'««.
