A new note was introduced into the
manufacture of these toys by Albert
Schlopsnies, who had already, when a
pupil of Franz von Stuck at Munich, tried
his hand at sarcastic caricature and pro-
duced a number of marionettes. This
work commended him as a welcome
collaborator, and his miniature repro-
duction of the famous Sarrasani Circus
fully justified the confidence reposed in
him. This circus, with more than a
score of performers, including artistes,
mountebanks, clowns, and trainedanimals
of all kinds, even pigs and geese, is
certainly an ideal nursery toy, though
naturally only within the reach of the
well-to-do. L. D.
