  • Before Philippe Ariès’ pioneer book which founded childhood’ history, each period has progressively built up knowledge about children’s games and toys. Based on the available ancient sources, humanists, doctors and philosophers began to elaborate a fragmentary toys’ history. Archaeology provided a closer look at objects since the 18th century, but it was not until the 19th century that educators, archaeologists and linguists began to write books on play and toys. Popularizers and specialists produced a flowering of works from 1869 to 1914, from Louis Becq de Fouquières for Antiquity to Édouard Fournier and especially Léo Claretie and Henry-René d’Allemagne for more ambitious projects covering the entire toy’s history. Thus, journalists, men of letters, archivists and historians ceased to believe that toy is a frivolous item, but they did not yet understand that it is part of a child’s history.
