Image description

Featured in the Harry Potter Exhibition at the British Library A sheet of vellum folded, concertina-fashion, to form a game in which an overlying picture in two halves may be lifted to reveal another picture underneath, or half-lifted to conflate parts of both images. Accompanied by couplets in Latin, possibly drawn from a bestiary source, and verses in English.
