The 'Truth' Toy Show at the Albert Hall - A Festive Extravaganza of Delight and Wonder
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the enchanting world of Victorian London, where merriment and joy filled the air during the annual "Truth". Toy Show at the illustrious Albert Hall. This engraving by David Hardy transports us to a magical evening in 1892, as depicted in The Illustrated London News. The scene unfolds before our eyes, revealing a grand hall adorned with twinkling lights and garlands of mistletoe. Dolls and toys of every kind are showcased on ornate displays, capturing the imagination of both young and old alike. From Dutch fishermen from Zuyder Zee to Welsh peasants, each intricately crafted figurine tells its own unique story. Amidst this delightful spectacle, we catch glimpses of familiar faces - the Duchess of Devonshire exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Monkhouse while surrounded by mountebanks and fishwives. The introduction of new toys is met with awe-struck wonderment as costermongers parade around wearing sandwich boards displaying their wares. Beyond mere entertainment, this exhibition also celebrates knowledge and discovery. Anne Boleyn's tree stands tall among botanical wonders, inviting visitors to explore botany and natural history through scientific methods. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to an era when joyous festivities intertwined with education and curiosity. It
