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.
George Colman's Blue Beard was first performed at Drury Lane in 1798. See: Speaight.
The publisher B. Spelt was active from 1850 to 1862. See Speaight.
