This particular Tunnel Book of the Thames tunnel was a double telescopic #Peepshow with two viewing holes (BR). The viewer could enjoy either view. #peepview #peepbox
Horses, pedestrians and carriages are shown entering one end, and the other was a view of the busy river.

TUNNEL BOOK PEEPSHOWS
The Thames #TunnelBook portraying Motion-In-Depth and a #PerspectiveView of the tunnel under the #ThamesRiver, London when construction began in 1825. #ThamesTunnel #ChunnelTunnel
Tunnel Books would be opened up and the viewer would look through the end opening (in this case) to βsee through the tunnel.β
The scene was not viewable until the book was opened. Here we see how the tunnel will look entering it, when completed.
Similar in principle to the Magic Lantern (and its longevity), it had an opposite function, since the images are not projected outside, but inside, making it more like a Peep Box, which it was. A rather large #PeepBox.
Think Raree or Galantee So, on a slightly larger scale. For those who couldn't travel but wanted to see the world or learn of it, they could offer their coin and look in the box.

The βRaree Showβ was an exhibition of pictures or objects (or a combination of both), viewed through a small hole or magnifying glass into a #peepbox operated by a travelling itinerant showman. It was a popular form of entertainment during the 17th and 18th century in Europe.
Typically, 8 cards would be inserted into a #peepbox, consecutively, which provided imagery similar to that of a theatre scene. The view had great #perspective. Best known for his portraits of monarchs as well as his intricate landscapes, #Engelbrecht's work is beyond compare.

MARTIN ENGELBRECHT (1684-1756)
A celebrated engraver of his time, #Engelbrecht (l) dominated the print trade in #Augsburg. Some of his best work was with optical prints. He used these in his perspective boxes and miniature theatres (r).
From trompe l'oeil painting techniques to synthetic media algorithms, artists have always used skill and science to create illusions of reality. A flat two-dimensional substrate with pigment applied offers the viewer a broad vista through which to travel, in their mind. A β
