Description

This encyclopedia covers the history of antique toys from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. It includes the arks, farms, zoos, doll's houses and shops which with their wooden inmates and furniture and metal accessories form a veritable world in miniature. Soft toys of all kinds are included, such as the well-lobed teddy bear. The entertaining automata and musical boxes which were a specialty of French and Swiss craftsmen are also listed in detail. The wheeled toys included range from the smallest push-along to the child-sized cars of Andre Citroen, while another form of children's transport is the pram in all its variations. The history of the ever popular rocking horse is also traced.
