V: 4504: NURSERY TOYS & FATHER TUCK'S ANNUAL.

The picture displays some of the many attractive items provided in the Royal Nursery of the Queen's Dolls' House. The toy Soldiers with movable arms and the model Train with Windsor Station as the stopping place will appeal to every boy. We have here also the fine bright Rocking Horse, a copy of one in the London Museum, once owned by the Duke of Clarence. The tail is made of a baby's curl.
