The toy the child likes best.
A German building-toy catalogue published by Dr. Richter's Publishing Office in 1888, aimed at children and parents and showing numbered construction models made from Anchor blocks. The colour plates show castles, gateways and towers built from red and cream blocks with pitched slate-blue roofs, set against loose landscape vignettes. A designer could draw on their clean block geometry, muted ochre and terracotta palette, and the way small figures are placed to show scale.
