A rare circular puzzle depicting a mustachioed driver behind the wheel of a vintage automobile. The illustration, in a caricature style typical of the early 20th century, evokes the first passenger cars of the Belle Époque. This model is unique in its visual design: two small balls are placed at the character's eye level, while a third element (a removable piece forming the glasses) is positioned above to complete the driver's face. Once the elements are correctly placed, the image transforms, and the character appears wearing his glasses.

Original miniature patience game with visual transformation, typical of small skill puzzles produced in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century.
