Erzgebirgische Miniaturen fürs Kinderzimmer

A whole world of colorful miniatures made in the Erzgebirge quickly conquered children's rooms after 1900 and soon the global market. This book sheds light on the cultural and social environment that led to the invention of this toy. In Dresden, an important center of the life reform movement, the ideas for high-quality and child-friendly toys originated. The initiators of these innovative miniatures, who advocated for design quality as well as targeted trade promotion and distribution strategies, can be found in the immediate vicinity of the Saxon folklore and homeland protection movement.
