From the Back Cover
An enchanting book of photographs for lovers of old dolls. The exceptionally moving color photographs bring to life a vast number of the most beautiful and rarest character dolls. The character dolls were a turning point in doll sculpture and design as they are images of real children and not the idealized, expressionless perfect beauty as portrayed in dolls until this time. Thus the character dolls express the full gamut of children's emotions: defiance, joy, grief, thoughtfulness, laughter, and tears. The character doll was to create a "child for a child, which would awaken emotions; they wanted a little girl to feel like a mother, not like a child needing improvement."
Printed in Germany, a country known for its high quality photography and printing, this is a reference for doll collectors, art historians, and doll makers.
