Highly pictorial and colourful 19th century chromolithographed trade card (advertisement) of R. Jaekel, depicting various items of mechanical furniture such as beds, toilets, garden furniture and wheelchairs on folded four sided sheet. Articulated flip paper image on front depicts mechanical sofa bed in two stages. When flat, a red sofa and when popped up, fold out bed with moustached man inside. Bed is described as 'A miracle of furniture technology. 20,000 pieces in use. Best bed sofa in the world!' Humorous rhyme on front advertises the fold out bed including pun on “Patent”, also an adjective meaning practical in German.
