Generations ago, just a few youngsters were fortunate enough to play with the lovely dolls depicted in the pages of this coloring book. Nowadays, these elegant dolls, made from various materials and with engaging, hand-painted faces, have develop into highly valued antiques.
Artist Brenda Sneathen Mattox has painstakingly re-created a wealthy choice of nineteenth-century dolls for Nowadays’s youngsters (and the young at heart) to enjoy. Thirty full-page, in a position-to-color illustrations present these rare dolls in authentic period costumes. Included are captivating Jumeau dolls with long, curly tresses; a Bru lady doll with a fashionable hat and high-necked dress, ca. 1870; a French fashion bride of the 1870s; a French walking doll with a feathered hat, ca. 1880; an engaging, wide-eyed bisque “googly”; a Simon and Halbig and a Kestner doll, both with long hair; a François Gaultier-type doll in a stylish ensemble; and lots of more. Seven dolls are shown in full color on the covers.
These beautifully drawn portraits of impossible to resist playthings — all identified in brief captions — will delight not only coloring book fans, but doll collectors and antique enthusiasts as well.
