Blackie The Teddy Bear.

Post by jones jones »

This teddy bear’s name is Blackie, for obvious reasons. It is an early English bear and may have been made to commemorate the death of Edward VII. Black is not a very common colour for teddy bears and is usually associated with a tragic event.

Black teddy bear from England, ca. 1910. From the V&A Museum:
