Victorian toddler girl trade card, 1880s

    There's something magical about watching young children play pretend. Maybe because I loved it so much when I was little (and even long after most kids had moved on...) This Victorian-era toddler, circa 1880s, is looking through pretend binoculars. Are they made from two spools of the thread this image is advertising?
