Myriorama second series, Italian Scenery by Clark published by Samuel Leigh.
The word Myriorama derives from Greek myrias, “ten thousand”, and refers to the different combinations possible with a relatively small number of cards.
The Myriorama was invented in France around 1823 by Jean-Pierre Brés and developed in England by John H. Clark.
The Myriorama (second Series) consists entirely of Italian Scenery, Designed by Mr Clark.
