Anotations

Scope note:

Folded books comprising a series of accordion or concertina style pleats and attached at one or both ends to stiff covers. The name leporello most likely comes from the manservant Leporello in Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni, a famed rogue who keeps a tally of his conquests on a long accordion style list. In the late 19th century, leporello were common travel souvenirs consisting of depicted scenes or photographs of a region’s tourist attractions.
