galanty show
A galanty show is a type of shadow play, in which figures are made to cast shadows onto a screen using a specialized type of lantern called a galanty show lantern. This form of entertainment was particularly popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. It often involved complex moving parts to create intriguing shadow effects and tell a narrative.
