[PEEP & PUPPET SHOWS]. Two Chinese Watercolors. Circa 1870. Both finely executed in the same style; the first shows a Raree Show (Peep Show) with two operators and two viewers seated on a bench before the box at viewing holes with three other customers waiting their turn. The second shows a Punch and Judy-style tall booth with puppets in place (one holds a stick), and six viewers before it while a man standing beside the booth collects money from two of the onlookers. The larger 9 ½ x 10 ¾”. Both laid down and trimmed unevenly.
