Description
A hand-printed scroll housed in a wooden box with hand-cranking mechanism. "Crankies are a part of the rich history of storytelling with panoramic pictures, especially popular in the 1800s. These were used as traveling forms of entertainment and education, and were often part of evening gatherings where the crankies would be illuminated by candlelight. They are, in a way, the first moving pictures."-- Artist statement, Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website (viewed July 18, 2022)
Inscription
"Printed from hand set wood type, Aldine Expanded, and metal type, Century Schoolbook, on Kozo Japanese paper. Each crankie is carefully hand-crafted by Jessica C. White in Asheville, NC." -- Colophon. Signed by the artist.
