This vintage Stanhope Viewer charm, smaller than a postage stamp at just 11/16"L × 1/2"W × 5/16" thick, features a miniature Bible design in black plastic. The charm contains an authentic micro-photographic lens viewfinder at its base, revealing The Lord's Prayer when held to light. These "peeps" represent a fascinating category of 19th-century optical novelty collectibles, combining religious significance with Victorian-era photographic innovation.
Bottom of the Bible is a tiny view port, inside is the Lord’s Prayer Stanhope’s, or 'peeps' are novelty collectibles produced from the mid-19th century onwards
