Add to album

This wooden toy microscope was made in Nuremberg in Germany in the early 19th century. It is unsigned.

The side-pillared instrument is on a round wooden stand. Its eyepiece is a replacement. It has no accessories other than the wooden slide.

These toy microscopes, made from soft wood with draw tubes of card and patterned paper, were very lightweight and inexpensive, and were produced in considerable numbers in Bavaria at this date.
