From TOYTHEATRE.NET...

From Hugo Brown's wonderful Toytheatre.net website, comes this great old newsreel!




It shows a printmaker from the 1920's making up toy theatre sheets, preparing them for a show, and a bit of a show itself.








An amazing find, Hugo!

The Rossetti Archive has some wonderful examples of toy theatre art.

The site says that "...Nearly all of DGR's artistic juvenilia are drawn in the style of this popular art form that occupied the attention of the entire Rossetti household when DGR [Dante Gabriel Rossetti] was a boy."

I missed this until stumbling on it today - the day after it closed! Profuse apologies to one and all. Hopefully those of you who may read this and are near enough to have taken it in, already knew about it anyways...
