Description
8" (20 cm.) Hidden inside a paper-mache cabbage
with silk leaves is a white fur-covered bunny with
amber glass eyes,hinged mouth,on ears. Music and
Movement. The bunny,hidden inside the cabbage with
only his ears peeking out,suddenly pops from the
cabbage,turning his head from side to side as
looking out for danger. He suddenly opens his
mouth,revealing the cabbage leaf he is chewing,and
pops down inside the cabbage again,still safe.
Music plays. Roullet et Decamps,circa 1910. A
series of automata were made by the firm,featuring
animals,children,chefs,and other amusing figures
hidden inside flowers,pots and such. The
mechanical arrangement remained constant,and only
the vignette scene varied; the series was popular
and remained in the company line for a number of
years.
