Description
6.5" (17 cm.) Combining lithography and painted detail, the toy features a red-gowned woman seated in a promenade chair with lithographed design at the side, being pushed by a porter with painted blue jacket and lithographed striped pants. The woman has a large hat, shawl, and dainty feet that rest on the decorated car base. Flywheel drive causes the wheels to turn and the man to push the cart along. Excellent condition except woman missing fan, mechanism intact. Marked Lehmann. Comments: Lehmann's EPL model 290, made only from 1889 to 1896, inspired by the International Exposition in Paris.
