Real teddy bears with stories you can trace: one of the first American bears, an early Steiff, a Russian princess's red bear, Christopher Robin's Pooh, auction record setters, the bear from Brideshead Revisited and a racing mascot that floated free of a fatal crash. Every photo shows the actual bear, never a replica, and each one earned its place through a documented history. They run in order of the year each bear was made, from about 1903 to 1956.
