boxes
Dr. Woffenbacher’s Realistic Replacement Eyes is a fictitious sample case of prosthetic eyes. The box of eyes was designed to simulate a Victorian artifact retrieved from the days of traveling medicine shows and quackery. Upon the lid is a tromp l'oeil illustration with a false perspective meant to trick the eye. The illustration points to a floating eye hinting of the box’s contents. Inside the box are four different colored fake glass eyes to choose from. There is also a miniature accordion book of instructions for the insertion and removal of a prosthetic eye.
