I did have a book of such manipulations at one time, and Dover Books might be a place to look for a reprint of the text. (Dover or even the online Project Gutenberg.) But maybe he's talking about Chinese shadow shows that hit the streets of Victorian London, or the so-called Galanty shows. Are there more specifics on what he has in mind?

He would like to get some input on them, i.e. information if possible, and also some sort of value. He gave me permission to give out his name and number to anyone who might be in his area to contact him. I thought putting it here would be easiest. His name is Arthur Genecco and his number is 419-499-4498. Also, there is a local 5th grade teacher who wants to use "Victorian shadows" as a teaching tool. I asked if he meant "toy theater" and he said it was like that but done with shadows and in the home. If anyone knows what he is talking about and can lead him to someplace that he can get information on them, please contact Jim Hill at 404-358-0793 or . ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
