I'm currently working on a new series of circus-themed toy dolls, games and pullalong toys so my workshop this time is a set of four vintage lithograph style pullalong toys.
The invention of chromolithography (colour printing on paper) in the 19th
century, opened up a whole world of possibilities and heralded a new way to
produce children’s toys and games. The undisputed ‘Kings of Chromolithography’
were the McLoughlin Brothers of New York, whose beautiful games, books and toys
were a joy to behold.
My set of circus pullalongs is inspired by the wonderful lithograph printed
toys of the late 19th century and features four precision cut, double-sided
animals - elephant, zebra, giraffe and camel, each standing on a colourfully
decorated wooden base with fixed wheels and silk cord pull.
 |
| Perfect for a 1/12th scale nursery, playroom or toy shop |
 |
| Evocative of the lithographed toys of the late 19th century |
 |
| The giraffe is 1 1/12" tall |
 |
| Only slightly taller than a thimble! |
The workshop pack contains all the materials you need to complete these toys,
including a step-by-step fully illustrated instruction booklet. You only need scissors and glue!
