My favorite is the windmill! Looks like there's a church next door to it, too!

it is so well made, there were some castles, also saint scenes from life of Jeanne d'Arc

It's so sad that the arts, the way many things were done back then, have been lost in some ways.

[@coffeewithdamian]

But it's beautiful to find it, and now bring it to the world!

@@coffeewithdamian Absolutely!

Thank you so much for introducing Mr. Greensfelder to us. As a child in the ‘60’s I loved “cut out” paper toys, but we always “played them to death”. They were so inexpensive that we could afford them. More recently I’ve started buying modern ones (like the Dover and Usbourne series of historic buildings) and I have a small collection of the Holling newspaper dioramas (a few as full newsprint sheets, but more that were carefully preserved by the original owner who had carefully pasted them to wallpaper and then cut and assemblied). Holling also did a series of simpler individual paper ‘doll’ toys of historic exploration scenes, that appeared on breakfast cereal boxes.

You are welcome! That is awesome! Also visit him if you are in Chicago!
