Exhibition - A Child's World - Antique Toys

The Victorian Age was one of the most prolific periods of invention and technological development. At the beginning of the era, there was no toy industry and few distribution channels for toys: it required the development of mass production, industrial molding and stamping, reliable heavy duty sewing machines, improved packaging and tinplate lithography to become the industry we recognize today. Most early Victorian-age children played with home-made toys: Rag or peg dolls, hoops, wooden tops, tin or wood whistles, stick horses, or whatever came to hand. By the end of the era, children had access to manufactured toys, many of very high quality, representing most aspects of contemporary society. Many of these toys or their derivatives were available well into the 20th century.
