History of the Teddy Bear
The history of the teddy bear dates back to the early 20th century. It is tied to the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. The story goes that during a hunting trip in November 1902, Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear that had been captured. The bear was tied to a tree by his hunting party, deeming it unsportsmanlike. The incident was caricatured in a political cartoon by Clifford Berryman. It was published in The Washington Post on November 16, 1902. The comic was titled "Drawing the Line in Mississippi."
Morris Michtom, a Brooklyn-based toy maker, saw the cartoon and got inspired to create a stuffed bear cub toy. He named it "Teddy's Bear" after President Roosevelt. Michtom sought and received Roosevelt's permission to use his name for the toy. The stuffed bear became an instant success. Michtom went on to found the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company, one of the first companies to mass-produce teddy bears.
Around the same time in Germany, Richard Steiff, inspired by drawings of bears at the Stuttgart Zoo, created a jointed stuffed bear as a toy. His aunt, Margarete Steiff, recognized its potential and began producing them it 1903. This led to the founding of the Steiff Company. While the Steiff bears were not initially named after Roosevelt, they too contributed to the popularization of teddy bears.
Since then, teddy bears have become iconic toys beloved by children and adults worldwide. They symbolize comfort, companionship, and nostalgia. Over time, they have evolved in design styles and materials. However, Teddy Bears have remained a staple in the world of toys and collectibles.
