    Description

    THE TEDDY BEAR ENCYCLOPEDIA
    by Pauline Cockrill, Foreword by Paul & Rosemary Volpp, Photography by Peter Anderson and Jim Coit
    published in the United States by Dorling Kindersley, Inc. (DK) book, 1993 First American Edition
    beautifully and lavishly illustrated in color, this book provides a comprehensive pictorial survey of antique teddy bears including origins, types, makers, and dates
    “The largest collection of teddy bears ever featured in one single volume. Pauline Cockrill - teddy bear expert and author of the best-selling "The Ultimate Teddy Bear Book" - unfolds the fascinating story of nearly a century of teddy-bear making. At the heart of the book is a lavish color 'photo album' that profiles more than 500 bears – rare and familiar, classic and contemporary - gathered from collections around the world. The distinguishing features of every bear are pinpointed and described, and the trademark - where intact - is displayed separately, to make identification straightforward and simple."
    Includes practical advice on washing and grooming teddy bears, together with clear, photographic step-by-step instructions that demonstrate all the methods of repairing and restoring traditional and modern bears using sympathetic material. This book also reviews the makers and their marks including Steiff, Schuco, Chad Valley Co. Ltd., Les Creations Blanchet, Aetna Toy Animal Co., Merrythought Ltd., J.K. Farnell & Co., Dean’s Rag Book Co., Ltd., Canterbeury Bears, House of Nisbet, North American Bear Co., and more. Countries of origin include Germany, France, UK, United States, Switzerland and Austria, and others. In the “Teddy Bear Directory” is a Teddy Bear Time Chart, Factory Histories, and Useful Addresses. This is an invaluable book for the collector, dealer, or historian of antique teddy bears.
