Called the Musée Roybet Fould, the pavilion ( which was of course portable) still exists at the back of a more recent building. Several expositions dedicated to toys and games were held here, this one of the earliest Ref. 16921 A joyful and colourful expression 56 x 42 cm; lithographed in reds, blues, yellows and black.
