More Dolls, The Early Years

Meer over het boek

In this super-sized volume with large, detailed photographs, the well-known doll researcher examines 166 dolls made from 1780-1910 of wood, paper-mache, china, bisque, and cloth, as well as a selection of toys and novelties incorporating the use of dolls. An unusual feature are front, side, and rear views of sculpted hair dolls, which allows the reader to clearly see the intricacies of the model. In all, an astonishing array of decorative variations are shown and it is unlikely the collector will ever say again, "oh, just another china doll." Hardbound, 111 pages. 9 ½" x 12"
