About the book:"This book was originally written for doll-collectors, to tell them about the kinds of dolls to look for, where to find them, and how to identify them. The author, owner of an outstanding collection of antique dolls, was well-qualified to write such a definitive book.From doll-collectors all over the country, Mrs. St. George gathered information about their collections and photographs of their favorites. This material is in her book, together with data on almost every type of doll ever made. For example, there is, at last, the true story of the rare Joel Ellis doll; a section on Black dolls; new facts which have come to light about the Schoenhuts;the history of the lovely Jumeaus, and more new material on wax penny dolls, the English pedlars, and the strange little poppets.The various dolls described in each chapter of the book are illustrated by photographs. Here one will find pictures of all of America’s doll celebrities. Notable, for example, is Mollie Brinkerhoff of Revolutionary War fame; old Peg Wooden who belonged to John Nott, founder of Springfield, Vermont.Mrs. St. George’s own Ridiklis, and Queen Victoria; who had the honor of receiving an autograph from Helen Hayes. Many other equally famous dolls also have their photographs in the book.Although written especially for doll-collectors, the material is presented in such an entertaining fashion that others who chance upon it are likely to be charmed into joining the ranks of the doll-collecting enthusiastsTable of ContentsDoll CollectingFrom The Cradle Of InventionsOther Springfield DollsEarly Wooden DollsDolls From The ForestsThe Schoenhut DollsPenny Dolls And Frozen CharlottesDolls In Strange Places IDolls In Strange Places IIPre-Greiner And GreinerThree Mystery DollsMilliners’ ModelsHistoric Fashion DollsThe Glass Of FaswonWax DollsChina Head DollsParian Or Dresden Doll HeadsThe Jumeau Doll And Other French BisquesGerman Bisque DollsRag Dolls, Rubber Dolls And Rawhide DollsAmerican Doll ArtistsThe Smith Family — Grace Story Putnam — Martha Oathout Ayres, Grace C.

$ 18.00	DOLLS - DOLL BOOKS: DOLLS~Pleasures and Treasures~by ANTONIA FRASER DOLLS~Pleasures /Treasures~by ANTONIA FRASER DOLLS OOPPleasures and Treasures by ANTONIA FRASERFrom the dust jacket)In this concise and attractive form, the author has told the story of dolls of all ages and in many countries. She writes: ‘Any woman left alone to amuse a baby may find herself fashioning a primitive toy out of a handkerchief, a rag or a piece of paper’. Thus we find doll-like objects among the relics of the earliest ages, and while dolls have assumed the most elaborate forms at different periods of history, the motive has remained unchanged –the affection of children for miniature replicas of themselves. Even the poorest children fashion playthings out of the materials at their command. This book is international in its scope. Dutch dolls, Japanese dolls, American Pennywoods, Peg dolls, the European fashion dolls of the seventeenth century, German and Italian doll-makers and Queen Victoria’s own collection of dolls, all find their places in these pages. Particular attention is paid to the materials from which dolls have been made, the clothes in which they have been dressed, and the mechanical devices by which head and limbs have been attached to the body, culminating in the inspired automata of the last three centuries. The illustrations, many of them in color, provide a delightful panorama of the subject. The majority have been specially photographed for this book in museums and private collections in Europe and the United States. This hardcover book with dust jacketis in good condition. The text is clean and the binding is tight. The bottom edge of the book has shelf wear. The dust jacket has a couple of tears, approx. 2 ½ inches long. Published by G. P. Putnam’s Sons, copyright 1963. Book measures approx 8 ½ x 8 ½ inches 128 pages.

In the first chapter, Miss Whiteexamines all the materials from which the dolls have been made~ wood, papier Mache, and compositions, ceramics, leather, wax, rag, rubber, metal, celluloid. Then she concentrates on particular details: hair, eyes, joints and dress. Another section describes such doll novelties as talking and singing, walking and creeping, feeding,~more than one face~ swimming, upside down dolls. Finally, there is the section, illustrated by 625 examples, of the Marks, including makers' names and initials, monograms, trade names and box labels. There are two kinds of illustrations included in this spectaculer book. There are Gwen White's own drawings, elucidating technical details of manufacture, dress of material. In addition there are 353 photographs taken from 56 collections, public and private, in Europe and the U.S. – represent every important type ormaker of dolls, in the Western World, especially during the period covered by the patent marks. These photographs, arranged in chronological order for each section, not only show the dolls in their undressed state, but also when fully clothed, and thus give an authentic display of the history of costume in miniature. For the collector, museum official or dealer this bok provides the facts necessary to the correct attribution and dating of any unfamiliar historic doll.
