Henri Rousseau's famous 1908 jungle painting
Fight Between a Tiger and a Buffalo is presented
through the windowed format of this appealing cousin
of the pop-up book—the tunnel book. Following the
tradition of the paper peep show, sturdy covers support
the two ends of an accordion-pleated paper tube that can
be stretched out to provide a three-dimensional view of
Rousseau's flora and fauna, including snakes in the trees
and tigers ready to pounce, all layered in paper cutouts
faithfully reproduced from the painting. A 16-page book
that provides an introduction to the self-taught French
painter and his fantastical canvases is also included.
Also available in French.
