I recall that when I was a child (80s) in the homes of my eldery relatives, there used to be a lot of lampshades, usually cylindrical or slightly tapered with a Dickensian style street scene printed on them. They had the windows of the houses cut out so that when the lamp was turned on it looked as though the lights in the houses were on.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Nobody I've spoken to does. And is there a name for them? I've googled and googled without joy...

They were referred to as hunting scene or coach house shades. Made by Savilles and a few others in the UK. HTH
