Patent Building Bricks - (a new invention), 1883. 'The building bricks as patented by Dr. Richter...supply everything that has hitherto been wanted to make bricks or toys not only amusing, but at the same time instructive and entertaining. In the first place, the children have real bricks to deal with...[and] being artificial stone...the children can fancy they are playing with real building materials, which is a very great attraction...The various uses of these bricks...become, however, much more apparent when applied to the Kindergarten...this instructive toy can be placed before the pupils in technical schools...In order to place the...constructions firmly together, Gum Arabic or lime mixed with fine sand may...be used. The advantage of this is, that the stones that have been used for one model may be separated from each other by means of water, and can be used again...Our Illustration will give some idea of the beauty of the buildings that may be made even from the smaller boxes of bricks...This toy serves, therefore, not only as an interesting occupation, but as an excellent means of education for children over four years of age, and well deserves the appreciation with which it has been received by all clear-sighted parents and teachers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
