Gifts for a Baby
A. Queyror, 1865
The Victoria & Albert Museum



Created in 1865, this illustration is entitled “Les Etrennes du Bébé “or “Gifts for a Baby.” Etchings of the print were published in Paris by Cadart & Luquet. Essentially an inventory of toys, I selected this image by A. Queyroy because of the very obvious figure of Mr. Punch along with a toy theatre, a drum, a rabbit and a horse.
