An Inside Look at Three Centuries of Tunnel Books

How many places can a book take us? Neil Weijer, Curator of Rare Books, takes us on an illustrated tour of three centuries of tunnel books and their place in the longer histories of optical illusion, moveable books, exploration and discovery.

If you like what you see, be sure to check this video by Ellen Knudson, Book Arts Curator, on how to make your own tunnel book- https://youtu.be/h-_TyJn698k

Special thanks to the Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering, and Technology for sharing images of their copy of The Tunnel Under the River Thames.
