Description

Exceptional documentation of the early hand-carved and hand-made wooden toys from the royal capital city of Krakow. Over one hundred examples of toys from late 19th century to the year 1939, showing the marvels solds at Krakow fairs. The album focuses solely on folk toys made of wood and clay that were the by-products of potter's and woodworkers' workshops. Most producers of the Krakow toys remain anonymous, while the most famous among the few known are Francisizek Kuthan and Jan Oprocha (father). The author hopes that while viewing the photographs in this album, the charm of Krakow toys will transport you to the Krakow of old. Lavishly illustrated.
