A Trip To A Show Of Realistic Baby Dolls And Toys Along With My Family
I took my family on a family outing recently to a museum of childhood and doll. My better half loves dolls, particularly about realistic baby dolls, as she has been a collector for a long time. She told me that there was going to be a show of realistic baby dolls at this museum, so we decided we would have a look.
As soon as we arrived, we quickly realised that this was a very big exhibition into the lifes and cultures of children over the last a hundred and fifty years or more. There was one particular show that made me realise how hard a life youngsters had back in the late 1800's.
The show was showing you the tough conditions they had in their work in addition to the hours they had to work.
One of the examples was chimney cleaning. Children at approximately 6 years old was performing the job, with no security gear and was exposed to obvious lung problems. Accidents and tragedy was frequent its sad to say. The days were long too, with kids working as long as 13 hours a day in factories with just one brief break. How the quality of life has changed in the hundred or so years for the worlds children.
As the a show went on, there was a vast array of toys from the previous, right up to the present. A few of these toys jogged my memory of my childhood, as one or two of the items on display I recall owning, and ranging from toy trains and tricycles, right up to a number of the popular branded board games we can still buy today.
It was not only a good day trip for the entire family. My wife had the chance to see her realistic baby dolls, and a large selection of dolls there was. This outing was indeed an education and more essentially, a reminder that life was not as straightforward for youngsters as it could have been back in those difficult hard, lengthy working days a hundred or so years ago.
