The collection consists of dozens of toy theater sheets with colorful characters and sceneries. Some of the characters are
from Der Froschkönig, Bruderchen und Schwefterchen, Die Reise um die Erde in achtzig Tagen, Kalif Storch von Bagdad, Die Jungfrau
von Orleans; and scenery includes tents, castles, stormy seas, palaces, churches, holiday scenes, et cetera. J.F.S.i.E is
printed on the right hand corner of most sheets. Nr. and Nro. stands for Number, and the actual number is the sheet's number

The collection also includes The Family Temple Toy Theater (also called Le Temple de Famille and Der Familientempel). The
miniature theater includes biblical characters and scenery that focus on the story of Jesus, through birth to death. The colored
figurines and backdrops are cut out and mounted onto stiff backing.
