A little history about the look behind this scarf from the German catalogue that dates back to 1840-1842: "The catalogue, produced in Germany circa 1840-1842 for the Sonneberg firm Lindner, contains 120 picture sheets, litho printed and hand coloured. Few such publications have survived. Research indicates this catalogue is the only example of its kind in Britain, and original catalogues such as this, with its enchanting designs, are now highly prized. In the early days of the German toy industry, sample toys were carried by tradesman, by the 19th century the scale of operations had increased so dramatically that catalogues soon became a necessity. The style of tradition of popular graphic design, with each toy being individually numbered. The toys featured would have been made of wood, tin, glass, ceramic and basketry, but a number would have been made of moulded paper mache, a specialty of the Sonneberg firm."
