1791-Yo-Yo-Bandalore
Summary
A depiction of a woman playing with an early form of the yo-yo, or "Bandalore" (as it was called in England then), from a French fashion journal, 1791.
The most common French word for Yo-yo at the time was "Emigrette", but it is called the "Joujou de Normandie" in a caption to a version of this image which was included in Albert Charles Auguste Racinet's Le Costume Historique (1888).
