Vintage Chinese Peep Show



A great vintage card of a Chinese Peep Show.  The publishers description says that peep shows were very popular before modern film.   The viewer watched static pictures through a magnifying hole and the vendor pulled a rope to change the pictures regularly and described what was going on by singing.  How lovely.  I wonder what they're watching.
