Signatures are originally set. Relief stamp top left. The Panopticum was a wax museum in Amstelstraat, after Madame Tussaud had previously established such a museum in London. The rise of film and cinema in the 1920s was disastrous for visitor numbers. In 1919 it was saved by the Amsterdamsche Bank, but bankruptcy nevertheless followed. The beautiful building was demolished and an extension of the Amsterdam Bank was added to the empty spot.
