    It's amazing that this came from the 1700s that it still works (if they take good care of it well and properly), it will last a long time. I'm surprised that every part of the animatronic/robot/mechanic figure moves, due to the rods, screws, and metal, that it is one of the first animatronics ever created. The machinery hidden under the woman's skirt moves the head, arms, and eyes. At first, it looks creepy, cause it's the way how it was designed, but it's truly a amazing masterpiece. It's beautiful.

      This is not one of the first, at the same period japanese and other civilization where doing similar things. For Japan it's even more elaborated and they are called Karakuri puppets ua-cam.com/video/i5zYK9FxORI/v-deo.html.
      Also animatronics existed even centuries before.

    Holy Hannah!! What an amazing creation. It boggles the mind to think of how they created this, one bit at a time, with what - hundreds? thousands? of moving parts. I can't help but wonder if after years of skilled craftsmen working on this, day in and day out, fine-tuning it to perfection, maybe Marie and Louis just listened politely to a few tunes, then wandered off and did something else, like kids at Christmas ("Oh, let's go play with the box!"). LOL
    Humans. Go figure.

      I don’t know about Marie Antoinette, but I wonder if Louis wasn’t taken by it. His hobby was watchmaking and so he was probably interested in mechanisms.

      Well Madame, underneath the dress she is seated atop her mechanism (And yes she has legs). This mechanism is linked to a barrel, with pins that make the arm strike the strings and cams in the center that rotate the cams back and forth.

      I Heart Noise / Ilya S it makes me sad because the owner of this music box was killed, it gives me feels to know she listened to this and i can also hear it but it was her’s she had a fucking music box of herself! If you think about it the king and queen weren’t bad people, they simply didn’t know how to take charge of a kingdom and got too involved in their own little perfect lives and honestly there was not much they could have done.

      A damsel with a dulcimer
      In a vision once I saw;
      It was an Abyssinian maid,
      And on her dulcimer she played,
      Singing of Mount Abora.
      Could I revive within me
      Her symphony and song,
      To such a deep delight ’twould win me,
      That with music loud and long,
      I would build that dome in air,
      That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
      You sent me to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, thank you.
