Bohemian lizards and spiders

A street trash pile from a storybook house-gutting in Vinohrady yielded this treasure. The oblong album had no pictures in it, but the nearby effects included mechanical and architectural folly drawings from the 1920s. Which I'm keeping. Between the black pages are translucent pages (onionskin?) embossed with a spider web design you can see here.
