Toy Theatre news from Princeton

In 1994, Sothebys in London sold an extraordinary toy theatre archive, originating from the Webb family of toy theatre publishers and unseen for many years. It contained a lot of the backroom material needed for running a toy theatre business in the thriving middle Victorian years, such as copper plates, lithographic stones, original drawings, prints and dies for punching ‘tinsel’ that was used to ornament prints of actors.

Castles in Sand

This book, published in 1906, came into our collection recently. Walter Poynter Adams was a member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and wrote a two-volume work on motor cars in 1907.
