The Wonderful World of Toys, Games & Dolls, 1860-1930

"The Wonderful World of Toys, Games, and Dolls is a representative sampling of catalogue pages, advertising and illustration that display the toys, games, and dolls of the period from 1860s through 1930. The materials used have been selected with a two-fold purpose: first, to illustrate the broad evolutionary picture of children's playthings to the casual viewer; and second, to retain sufficient coverage of each period and each type of plaything to be of value to the serious student collector." -- Foreword
