In France, its country of origin, Etch A Sketch was sold under the name of "Télécran", [14] rather than L'Écran Magique.The Etch A Sketch toy was invented in the late 1950s by André Cassagnes, [1] [5] [6] an electrician with Lincrusta Co, who named the toy L'Écran Magique (The Magic Screen). [2] In 1959, he took his drawing toy to the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany. The Ohio Art Company saw it but had no interest in the toy. When Ohio Art saw the toy a second time, they decided to take a chance on the product. L'Écran Magique was soon renamed the Etch A Sketch and became the most popular drawing toy in the business. After a complex series of negotiations, the Ohio Art Company launched the toy in the United States in time for the 1960 Christmas season with the name "Etch A Sketch". Ohio Art supported the toy with a televised advertising campaign. [7]
