Magic Land of Toys
by Alberto Manguel
Category: Antiques & Collectibles

More than 500 rare and beautiful toys from the renowned collection of Paris' Musie des Arts Dicoratifs are photographed by Pintado in tableaux of children's playrooms from 1870 to the present. These unearthly photographs alternate with text by Manguel that mingles the real and the imaginary, retelling both well-known and obscure children's stories.
