Illusion Bird cage

MOAPH recently acquired a rare “Illusion Bird Cage” made in Holland around 1850-1875. The fish bowl on top of the cage is in 2 parts, so the canary can fly into the smaller inner bowl with the fish swimming around him in the outer bowl! Therefore, the “Illusion” effect of the canary living underwater with the goldfish.
