About The Cover
Dolls from Kley & Hahn (left), Hertel, Schwab & Co and Bruno Schmidt, three German producers of high quality character dolls in the early 20th century. Hertel, Schwab & Co and Bruno Schmidt both made heads for Kley & Hahn. Some of these dolls, including those in the cover photo, show similarities in modeling, decoration and bisque quality which leads to an assumption of possible cooperation between them — Alf Ertsland
