Included in this lot are hand painted polychrome heavy lead toy soldiers depicting the Napoleonic era. Forty-nine figures are horse mounted cavalry, sixty figures are infantry. For as long as there have been wars, children have loved to play with toy soldiers. The appeal of small military figures soared in the late 19th Century, but they’ve even been found in the tombs of ancient pharaohs. In the 18th century, advances in production saw toy soldiers made from tin, lead and composite. Primarily, they were designed for affluent members of society as they could afford hand-made products with fine detailing. In the late 19th century, more realistic figurines were produced in ceremonial dress to resemble various European military movements. These hand painted toy soldiers are in good overall condition, average height is between 2"-2.5".
