In the early 1900s, Paris was already the city of fashion and the latest fashion was also shown on the streets.
Around 1910, the culottes were in fashion, Martin saw this in the streets and was inspired to make a toy out of it.
This lady walks through the prop mechanism with a flourish
This prop mechanism was already used by Martin since 1901, the first time on the les Agents number 178
He also had it patented under number 298.509
This lady is very rare, probably also because fashion changed quickly and the toys were no longer sold well.
That was also one of Martin’s strengths by quickly responding to current events.
