| Object history | Given to the V&A's Furniture and Woodwork department in 1940, with the intention they would be displayed in the Children's Gallery at the Bethnal Green Museum (later known as the V&A Museum of Childhood). They were formally transferred to BGM/MoC the same year (see MA/1/R1399 for acquisition details, and MA/62/1/21 for the transfer). F. Gordon Roe was an antiquary who gave many items to the V&A between 1922 and 1981. This object is part of a group of toys (W.22 to 33-1940) which he offered 'owing to the unsettled times'. The acceptance and delivery to the Museum had to be fitted around Mr. Roe's A.R.P. duties. Roe published about all the objects in various articles for the magazines Antiques and The Connoisseur. |
