Two Different Worlds
March 17, 2007 in Atlanta, GA
Two very different doll worlds mingle in a delightful mélange. There is, on the one hand, the sophisticated world of Parisian dolls, chic, fashionable, and French dolls from Paris store Au Nain Bleu. And then there is the world of plain and simple, highlighted by a collection of Ella Smith cloth dolls and Alabama babies. A century ago, at the end of the 19th century, each prospered, likely unknown to each other, but stellar quality the same. 8.5" x 11". Softbound. 112 full-color pages.

And Seem to Walk on Wings and Tread in Air
November 11, 2006 in Morristown, NJ
When Alexander Pope wrote those lines some 300 years ago, he seemed to be speaking of the wonderment of childhood. That all improbable things are possible, such as treading in air or dolls coming to life. It is the collectors of antique dolls in which that sense of wonder lives on. A painted face jester performs impossible feats of balance with two chairs, a Vichy pianist magically flits her fingers over the keys and an extraordinary collection of French dolls bear witness to the fact that one can, indeed, tread on air. 8.5" x 11". Softbound. 124 full-color pages.

Scenes from the Court
July 9, 2006 in Dallas, TX
Scenes from the Court teasingly word-plays on the court theme, while offering a plentitude of dolls that are fit for a princess. There are the exceptionally rare pair of dolls actually from the 18th century French court whose purpose was not child's play, but a manner for aristocrats to theatrically spread the latest gossip without naming names, from the private collection of the late Parisian antiquarian Claude Detave. There are wooden dolls of the English court, and even an extensive trousseaux. 8.5" x 11". Softbound. 136 full-color pages.
