Musée rétrospectif de la classe 100 : jouets à l'exposition universelle internationale de 1900, à Paris : rapport
This is a French retrospective catalogue report by Henry D'Allemagne, published in 1900 to accompany the toy section of the Exposition universelle in Paris, covering historical toys for a general and trade audience. The four pictures are rotated black-and-white engravings: a rustic scene of figures with a cart, a group of paupers at a hearth labelled from the 18th century, a crowded 18th-century indoor game scene with a printed verse, and a Chinese shadow theatre room with seated audience. A designer could take their dense crowd compositions, ornate frames and period costume detail as reference for historical tableaux.
