Exhibition Texts Presented at the Mccord Museum from November 17, 2012 to April 28, 2013 Exhibition Texts Presented at the McCord Museum From November 17, 2012 to April 28, 2013 PLAY Play is an activity that goes beyond the sole purpose of having fun. Play is so important to child development that it has been recognized by the United Nations as a right of every child. In the words of child educator Pauline Kergomard, “Play is the work of children”;*. Part imagination, part learning, play provides an opportunity for children to develop through the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Through play they engage and interact with the world around them. They assimilate the rules and behaviors necessary to their integration, and acquire the readiness to learn so essential to their growth and development. Children do not play to learn, but rather, learn through play. *Kergomard, Pauline. 1886. L'éducation maternelle dans l'école. Paris : Hachette. I found a winning ticket in a cereal box!

Pull toy, Snoopy Sniffer About 1938 Made by: Fisher Price Toys Wood, metal, paper, cord Gift of the Estate of Frederick Forbes Angus McCord Museum, M2009.16.13 Snoopy Sniffer is a little pull toy who will soon be celebrating his 75th birthday. Unveiled by Fisher Price in 1938, it became one of the most popular toys in the company’s history and beloved by many generations of children. Although this adorable wooden beagle with long ears has the same name as the famous dog in the Peanuts comic strip, Snoopy Sniffer predates Snoopy more than a decade. The story of Charlie Brown and his dog, created by illustrator Charles M. Schulz, began only in 1950. After a few years’ absence, Snoopy Sniffer recently returned to the market under the new name Snoop n’ Sniff.

D. Kestner Bisque, paint Gift of Mrs. David L. Lockerby McCord Museum, M979.94.3 Born of the imagination of American artist Rose Cecil O’Neill (1874-1944) in 1909, Kewpie is a bisque doll that was first manufactured in 1913 by the German company J. D. Kestner. Its look was inspired by images of Cupid, the Roman god of love. Kewpie first appeared as an illustration in women’s magazines where it humorously incarnated the noble defender of social justice. It soon went on to become more than just an illustration but a storybook character, the mascot for Jell-O and Kellogg’s, and a decorative image on a wide range of household products. Today, over a century later, many companies around the world still use its cute little face to boost sales. 3 Toys 3 – The Voyage © McCord Museum, 2012 Telephone 1925-1935 Lead alloy, iron, paint, fibre McCord Museum, M991X.2.124 Saw 1890-1910 Made by: R.

Bristle, metal, wood Gift of Mrs. Danielle Lamoureux McCord Museum, M2000.86.2 ROLE PLAYING Even in the imaginary world of play, children follow the example of adults. Through imitation, and by creating their own images, they seek to understand how the world around them works and the intricacies of human relationships and social roles. Gradually, whether or not this behavior is encouraged, little girls gravitate towards feminine roles, while boys model their behavior after masculine figures. By playing mother or father, princess or headmaster, children begin to understand the constraints imposed on them and learn to accept them. By acting out stressful situations, children release inner conflicts that sometimes frighten them. Play allows children to learn about life. The sticker at the bottom of this “Little Queen” mechanical sweeper by Bissell clearly indicates that it was designed “for the child who wants to ‘help’ Mother.” Vehicle, Land Rover AA Road Service 1989 Made by: Matchbox Int'l Ltd.

Citing the principal media for child-targeted advertising, (comic books, youth magazines, school displays and radio and television), the speaker exposed the present-day practices in the marketing of toys, pills and edible products. The relationship between "misleading, often seductive advertising" and over-the-counter drugs and non-nutritional foodswas explored. Mr. Choate was_critical of previous attempts at advertising reform and points out several areas where, he said, the advertisers failed to follow through with previous pledges assuringmore straightforward ads. In conclusion, he called for more regulation, particularly by the FTC, Federal Drug Administration, and Federal Communications Commission, to tightly restrain the country's merchants from "coveting our children's purses." A listing of the fifth largest food companies and their advertising agencies is provided. (MC) El EVEIITH COZ,114ADD',.rENT: THOU SHALT NOT COVET AY CHILD'S l'Ultrri, U S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

The Irwin Toy Company Bowal, Peter; Khan, Omar; Perry, Karen Legal Resource Centre of Alberta Ltd. (LRC) Bowal, P., Khan, O. & Perry, K. (2012). Whatever Happened To ... The Irwin Toy Company.

Whatever Happened To… The Irwin Toy Company Peter Bowal, Omar Khan and Karen Perry This is the story of how Canada’s oldest toy company famously challenged advertizing restrictions in the courts shortly even before the arrival of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Ultimately, in a Charter case, several new and enduring legal principles on corporate expression rights emerged, and Saturday morning children’s television ads were changed forever in Quebec. But this well-known Canadian independent, family-owned toy distributor and manufacturer would not itself survive. Corporate History Irwin Toy began in 1926 as an importer and distributor of dry goods and clothing – effectively a wholesale souvenir shop – operating out of Samuel and Beatrice Irwin’s home. The business eventually moved to a warehouse in the west end of Toronto. When Samuel’s two sons, Arnold and Mac, took over, they added wholesale toy sales.

  • SPRING 2013 400 Years of Richmond History in Only 50 Objects
    SPRING 2013 400 Years of Richmond History in Only 50 Objects Known by some local citizens as “Richmond’s Attic,” the Valentine Richmond History Center has recently gone global while remaining local with a new exhibition, “A History of Richmond in 50 Objects” (RVA50). Inspired by and paying homage to “A History of the World in 100 Objects,” the groundbreaking partnership of the British Museum and BBC Radio 4 in 2010 that focused on world history through the eyes of one hundred experts, this exhibition continues the dialogue in a way that is uniquely Richmond and was curated by David B. Voelkel, the new Elise H. Wright Curator of General Collections. He used this project as an opportunity to delve into the museum’s holdings of more than 1.5 million objects. RVA50 explores the history of Richmond, Virginia, through a selection of objects from across the general, archives, and costume and textile collections. Creating a balanced exhibition led to many curatorial moments of decision as to inclusion and exclusion as one by one various possible museum artifacts were unearthed from their storage locations for examination and consideration. Each object had to compete for one of the limited 50 spaces not only in historical Continued on page 2 Four Hundred Years... Continued from page 1 significance, but in size, form, and type. The designation of the #1 object is on the historical chronology rather than a ranking of “importance” – a murky place in any instance. From #1 - an 1819 imprint of John Smith’s 1624 Map of Virginia to #50 - the rainbow flag that flew at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond in 2011, RVA50 examines how objects contain layers of meaning that are both personal and public.
