The Doll as Art 2 by Stuart Holbrook

Index of Doll Makers

The extraordinary beauty of antique dolls is richly evidenced in this over-sized full color volume. 133 of these masterpieces are highlighted on individual pages, allowing the full expression of their sculpted artistry to show. The book will not only delight the lover of antique dolls, but also the dollmaker who seeks close-up views of these legendary works as well as the casual browser who will surely exclaim "I had no idea how beautiful dolls could be".

Chosen for inclusion in this book by the discerning eye of Stuart Holbrook, the dolls include rarities as well as popular favorites from the most illustrious French and German firms during the classic age, 1875-1925. The photographs were chosen from the archives of Theriault's, the Dollmasters and represent many of the notable dolls sold by that firm during their 25 year existence.
