Analysis

There is one small paragraph of text mentioning .... which says:

Roughly translated this reads: 'Usually one figure develops into five, six or more others, to which all kinds of ramen (?) are added. Thus from the Table to the Double Boat, from the Mirror to the Castle, finally the big Boat. Another popular figure is the 'Springhahn'.'

The big Boat is presumably the Chinese Junk. The 'Springhahn' is probably the Cocotte / Pajarita. I do not know what design the Castle is.
