The main title includes a bonus chapter about Hispania
In 2019 a folio sketchbook was discovered of the Spanish manufacturer Roca Farriols who produced around 1900 tin toys in Barcelona under the name Hispania. This sketchbook was sold at a German auction. The collector who bought it, has allowed me to reproduce some of these early toy designs in my book together with the actual toys from various collectors. I have therefore added a 20 page chapter Hispania to my book and it is the first time that these toys and there original sketches are now shown. They're all unique! Hereunder just a few spreads of the 24 page chapter.
