problem : I need an English word for a Dutch one that google and bable fish can't translate fortunately what I am looking for is an item and not something abstract.



this is what it is: shoe box with a hole cut in the lid and the hole is covered with transparent coloured paper. in the side of the box you cut a small hole or door to look through. then one fills the box with a scene of cut out pictures



what is this in English?

Is it a peepshow box? That's the only thing I can come up with!

1 : a scenic representation in which a partly translucent painting is seen from a distance through an opening 2 a : a scenic representation in which sculptured figures and lifelike details are displayed usually in miniature so as to blend indistinguishably with a realistic painted background b : a life-size exhibit (as of a wildlife specimen or scene) with realistic natural surroundings and a painted background
