"The Reaches of the Street" Marquis Antique Doll Auction - October 3, 2020
Throughout its 50th anniversary year, Theriault’s will echo earlier catalog titles, those that most captured the sense of history offered by our common past. “The Reaches of the Street”, inspired by a line in an early 20th century poem by T.S. Eliot, was the theme of Theriault’s October, 1991 catalog which paid homage to dolls created during the art character movement of that same era, dolls aptly described in one famous exhibition as “children of the street”. The auction is highlighted by the important collection of art character dolls from the collection of the late Susan Hill of Fredericksburg, Virginia.
