Profusely illustrated in color and black-and-white, this early out-of-print book is a pictorial guide to antique teddy bears.
TEDDY BEARS
by Philippa & Peter Waring, Treasure Press, London, 1984.
“Ever since the day in 1902 when an American sketching artist drew a whimsical cartoon about President Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot a bear cub, and thus provided the inspiration for the invention of ‘Teddy Bear,’ the little furry creature has become a world-wide favorite not only as a plaything, but in books, films, newspapers, comics, on radio and television, in songs, poems, postcards and birthday greetings. This book is a celebration of his remarkable achievement. It is an illustrated survey of his history, a scrapbook of his attainments, and an intimate photograph album. It is an A-Z of the most famous bears in the world, a compendium of the record breakers and a revelation about why Teddy exerts such a fantastic appeal.” Whether a collector, dealer, or admirer of lovable teddy bears, one will want to add this scarce book to their permanent reference library.
8.5” x 11” hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 128 pages.
