"German Toys in America" at the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg

This video explores "German Toys in America," an exhibit currently on display at the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg.
Known as The Toy Workshop of the World and The Land of Toys, Germany dominated the toy market for most of the 19th-century. American toy sellers ordered their merchandise through illustrated catalogs or sent agents to Germany who personally selected the best stock with which they filled their shelves. This exhibition features a colorful variety of 19th-century German wooden toys from dolls and soldiers to arks and animals.
