Hi Pat:
Tknaks for the italina link, very interesting stuff.
Your vision of a diorama capturing the atmosphere the old look ok of european dioramas is apealling.
In fact, after you showed the tatebankos I got curious with what were the europeans doing, using modern printing. To my surprise I found on Patricia's site a wealth of little dioramas printed offste. Nothing to compare to handmade printings, but nevertheless quite elaborate. I particularly like the solution of most of them of creating a half-round backdrop to close the scene and set the mood. Then there are the dannish and the german printings. From the USA I found once a collection of b&w printings that I believed were distributed as extras on newspapers. They were very simple automata, but had a sharp humor. Unfortunelly I wasn't carefull to take note of the link. I believe it was from the West Coast, L.A. or San Francisco.

Carlos
