- Notes:
- Juvenile drama emerged in England soon after 1800, forming itself from the adult drama of the time. The plays were adapted from their original stage version into a miniature toy version with actors, costumes and scenery intended for a juvenile audience. Characters and scenes were intended to be cut out and dramatized.
M. Rophino Lacy's Cinderella was first performed at Covent Garden, in1830. See: Speaight.
John Redington was active as a publisher of toy theaters from 1850 to 1876. See Speaight.
The sheets were originally published by John Kirby Green in 1830. See Speaight.
