Subject: [DCRM-L] looking for a term


I have this charming recreational set at my desk today (see picture attached).



Provisionally: Das Volksleben in Venedig, die Piazetta. Wien : Herausgegeben v. M. Trentsensky, [approximately 1855]



Is there an established term for a set such as this? In spirit and form, it is toy theater adjacent, but without connection to a work of drama. In the publisher’s catalog available in Google Books, it’s listed as item 40 under “Kleine malerische Tableaux” (Small picturesque tableau?):



Plastische Aufstellungen. Cartonirt, colorirt und ausgeschnitten in kleinen... - Google Books<https://www.google.com/books/edition/_/90lZAAAAcAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PP4&dq=Das+%22Volksleben+in+Venedig%22+Trentsensky>



I appreciate your suggestions.



Best,

Francis
