Until the late 18th century and early 19th century, the toy-making business was primarily a cottage industry, consisting of local artisans crafting items for agents who sold the toys to merchants. Toys for children were primarily purchased from peddlers, stalls in a market, or in shops mixed in with other goods. By the late 18th century children's books, such as Cobwebs to Catch Flies (1783) and The Toy-Shop (1787), begin to show illustrations of London toyshops.
