Philip Vielmetter – Clown Artist

Published on Jan 5, 2013 by Tin Mania
The brightly dressed Clown Artist, crank-operated, German lithographed tin toy by Philip Vielmetter sits at an easel, drawing a caricature of Queen Victoria. The clown’s pencil is controlled by a double cam, a rotating irregular metal plate which forces the pencil to move along its edges. Production date around 1895. http://www.tinmania.co.uk/
