Antiques of American Childhood by Katharine Morrison McClinton: “Collecting antiques of American childhood is fascinating fun. Whether one is interested in children’s costumes, furniture, books, or amusements, the fun increases in proportion to the knowledge a collector brings to the field... In the early days of America, most of a child’s possessions came from England, but by the early nineteenth century, they had taken on a national character.” A study of antiques of this type, whether or not one becomes a real collector, gives an interesting overview of the lives led by the children of early America.
