In an earlier blog ( part-2-martin-toys-used-in-art ) I showed Jacques Milet’s works.
Now it turns out that his daughter is also a gifted artist.
She also made a work of art with Fernand Martin’s toys as the subject.
This work of art has the Martin toy “Le Familie Vélo” as its centerpiece.
This work of art is depicted in Frédéric Marchand’s book “The History of Martin Mechanical Toys” on page 96.
The “la famille vélo” is from 1897 and has product number 158″
More about this toy in another blog is planned in three weeks.
