12 INCREDIBLE CARDBOARD COSTUMES FOR KIDS
Kids are naturally wired to play and imagine. But when we (I'm guilty of this myself) give them tons of toys that do everything, they don't need to imagine anything. So give your kids a cardboard challenge - to find the hidden objects in the boxes like Michelangelo did with blocks of granite. The boxes require imagination. They won't do anything without it.

Today I continue my series on Toy Theaters and Paper Theater images by exploring some of the vintage images that were produced in Barcelona, Spain by Paluzie. Spain is near and dear to my heart and I have extensive family ties there. I was thrilled to discover some beautiful toy theater images from the land of my birth and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I begin by showcasing this whimsical stage curtain in Spain's National colors of Red and Gold with a few "extras" thrown in and then toward the bottom of the post I wanted to show some interesting comparisons between Paluzie images from Spain and Imagerie Pellerin, d'Epinal images from France. I hope you enjoy a digital journey to Spain with these vintage treasures. My Adaptation on a Paluzie, Barcelona Paper Toy Theater Curtain I've done a bit of digital re-orchestration to create this particular Stage and curtain in one. The original image was intended to be a curtain without a base but I thought it would make a nice stand alone stage and created a coordinating base for it. I've also popped in a fancy red curtain which you can find on my deviantART account HERE and other of my curtains can be seen at http://eveyd.deviantart.com/gallery/33415981 So if you are wondering what the original curtain looked like, well here is a "process" sheet showing you the stages of assembly and creation. Progress Sheet showing Original Sheet, Assembled Curtain and Altered Curtain Stage The original sheet appears to be an "extras" set showing the parts of the curtain and some props. I believe the original intent of the curtain is as an extra "inner" curtain to be used within another Theater or "Proscenium" rather than as a stand alone item. Personally I liked the image so much that I wanted it to stand alone as a theater; but if at any time I need just the curtain it is a simple process to "cut off" the lower base and have it as originally intended. I did find an image on the web showing a Paluzie Theater where this item was used as a secondary inner curtain. Paluzie Toy Theater - From The Bruce Museum's exhibit "A Child's View" The above image can be found at http://www.victoriana.com/theater/papertheaters.html and is part of an interesting article Victoriana Magazine did on Toy Theaters at the Bruce Museum. The Elaborate theater seen here is also by Paluzie and came as an unassembled sheet No 1028 which I'll bring to you in the next post. Since I wanted the curtain to play a major role rather than extra window dressing I created a fun "print and play" sheet with the stage, background curtain and two different Paluzie sets. The sets include a background and then side wings which are used to create illusion and depth within a toy theater, just as they would be used on a real stage. Toy Theater Paper Play Set - click on image to get higher resolution for downloading & printing These can be used to create a stage diorama or a miniature toy theater depending on how you choose to construct your set. (Remember to use the download instructions to get the highest print quality image.) The photo from Victorian Magazine shows the Paluzie Theater with a backdrop and side wings in place. You can also see other examples of backgrounds with side wings at Spielzeugmuseum Nürnberg using the following links: HERE - HERE - HERE - HERE and HERE (These my give you a better visual on how to use the wings in a toy theater). ***** OK - now for those who enjoy a bit of extra information along with pretty pictures... Paluzie was a well known printer in Spain and was producing paper toy sheets around the same time as Pellerin aka d'Epinal was in France (especially from the c1865-1920's time period). Those who follow my blog know I did a series of posts on d'Epinal images at the end of 2012 and in January 2013 I did a 2 part post showing a d'Epinal toy Theater; so I found it quite interesting as to how similar the styles of Paluzie was to Pellerin's d'Epinal sheets. I wanted to show some of my findings in this regard. Considering the d'Epinal firm had a larger selling market, I have to wonder if many of the Paluzie sheets were inspired by what they saw in d'Epinal or other well known Paper Theater makers of the day. Don't get me wrong. Many of the Paluzie sheets and theaters are original to them and beautiful in their own right; I just find it interesting that there are some similarities between them and other prints, especially the French d'Epinal sheets. Here are a few comparison examples I found interesting. Mini Theaters by Paluzie on the Top and d'Epinal on the Bottom This first example shows a series of 4 mini theaters with stage, background and wings. On the top is Paluzie's set called Pequeno Theato (small theater) On the bottom is d'Epinal's set of Petites Theatres (small theaters) I did not have the full uncut sheet of the Paluzie theaters; but I was able to recreate the look of it from images I have of the various parts. You can see an uncut sheet of them HERE at www.teatritos.com along with other Paluzie items. (You'll need to scroll almost to the bottom of the page to see the Paluzie mini theater sheet) Though paper theaters were a majorly produced item for these companies, they also produced a wide variety of paper toy sheets as seen in the next two examples. One for a circus toy that moves and the other for jumping jack paper dolls. Miniature circus toy sheets - Top one by Paluzie - Bottom one by d'Epinal I've been able to locate just a few examples of Paluzie paper sheets so far, it seems they are a much harder to locate collectible than the d'Epinal sheets from France. Looks like I'll have to call in some favors with my cousins in Spain to try and find me some. - grins. The Paluzie sheet can be found HERE and a version of the d'Epinal HERE Il Favoloso Mondo di Carta di Toto, which by the way is a great resource of downloadable vintage items. Spanish and French Jumping Jack Paper Dolls Jumping Jack (Pantin) paper dolls were popular from the late 1700's through the early 1900's so it's not uncommon that many companies made these types of paper sheets. I've seen more than a dozen different Pantins by d'Epinal (harlequins, clowns, dancers, pirates, Asian, Turkish and a variety of others). I have a 5 post series showing may of them starting HERE if you want some nice downloadable versions to play with. I'm sure Paluzie must have made more than just the one jointed paper doll but this is the only one I've seen so far. Here again, I think it's an issue of the Paluzie sheets being harder to acquire or gain access to reference versions of their images. For this final comparison, I recently stumbled on this one and was shocked at how similar the two Toy Theater background images were. Arabian styled Toy Theater Backgrounds - Top one by Paluzie & the Bottom one by J.F. Schreiber The very colorful top background was by Paluzie and the elegant one on the bottom by Schreiber. J.F. Schreiber of Germany was one of the top publishers of Toy Theater sheets and they produced exceptionally well made sheets during their day; so I found it quite interesting how similar the Paluzie was to the Schreiber. I've noticed this in the past with other toy theater sheets and going forward I'm going to start keeping track because I find it fascinating and it may make for another interesting post later on down the line. I hope you found today's post on Paluzie, Barcelona paper sheets from Spain interesting. Next we'll have a bit of fun with Paluzie's Theater Nº 1028.
