This fascinating hardcover book, The World of Toys by Robert Culff, offers a delightful exploration into the history of toys from antiquity through to the modern era. Published in 1969 by The Hamlyn Publishing Group, the volume features richly detailed black-and-white and color illustrations showcasing historic dolls, plush animals, paper cut-outs, and mechanical playthings. The book includes its original illustrated dust jacket, which shows some light edge wear, minor toning, and small creases fitting its age. Internally, the pages remain clean, crisp, and firmly bound, making this an excellent addition for collectors of vintage toys, social history, or antique reference books.
