Description
16" (41 cm.) A wooden box depicting a fashionable young girl on the lid contains a set of wooden block puzzles, each block side containing a rich chromolithographed image; thus, six different puzzles can be formed from the blocks. Copies of the actual six puzzle images are included, each depicting children in vivid scenes. The set is preserved in remarkable original condition as though never played with. The original Parisian toy store label of Au Nain Bleu is inside the box lid. French, circa 1885.
