Descrizione
This large encyclopedia in 2 volumes of 664 full color pages is the consecration of 25 years of work by French historians specialists of dolls and toys. Readers will find these books informative and fascinating reading about
French doll history of the 19th century up to 1925.
This time period encompasses the pre-industrial era, the Industrial Revolution, the dawning of the 20th century, and post WW1.
No doll firm survived throughout that entire period, although several lasted for half a century or more.
But today's collector is locking for more than fascinating reading. The need is for knowledge about the dolls that one owns or wishes to acquire. This is the hard part. In fact, the history of dolls in 19th century France is complicated and that fact underlies the two-volume work.
Thousands of references to doll firms, inventors, stores, and actual dolls are arranged alphabetically within this work enabling collectors for the first time to research and document their antique doll treasures.
Photographs or illustrations of marks, illustrations from original patent drawings, and actual advertisements from contemporary business registries accompany most entries.
There are, of course, superb photographs of existing examples of actual dolls, many previously undocumented.
Well-indexed, more than 4000 illustrations and color photographs.
The texts in English are written by François and Danielle Theimer.
