their creatorsand ihe loving ministrations of their young owners have instilled in them a special beauty. Cloth dolls are unusual in that some aspectof their making may be almost refined.

a1ity.Becausea primitive is handmade,it enjoys individual distinction regardlessof the artistic level.

Ragdo1lswere oftenfashionablydressed with care and attention to the styles of the period. Naturally the skill of the maker has much to do with the appearanceof a doll.

Women of the nineteenih ceniury were no less possessedwith a need to create than today's dollmakers. Prior to the tweniieth ceniury, needlework skills were essential, vital to the production of household textiles and clothing. Functional items such as quilts and coverletsoften becameworks of art as their makers n'ent far beyond what rvas deemed necessaryto create labor-intensivemasterpieces.

Mothers,older sisters, aunts, grandmothers and even young girls practicing their sewing were typicaily the creatorsof rag dolls. Becausea doll was not a necessity,it is that much more special. We can easilyimagine a mother sitting by the fire after a long hard day. Bone tjred, she works silently into the night, creating a doll in time for her daughter's birthday.

Although collectors of one-of-a-kind cloth dolls appreciaiecondition, it is not as important as it is to collectorsof bisqueor

Of English origin, (born in Nolthampton, England on April 10, 1861) , ioseph Louis joanny appeared in the Trade Dirc c t or ; in I 8 8 2 r r h c | e h i . n a m i ' t r a s m i s spelled (Jouhenny). He made unbreakablc

the address of Hotel Wagram, lr'here he had taken over from Madarne Chdre Marot.

Tr'r'oyears later in 1884,he filed a first patent (N" 763 614 dated 5 August 1884) for a svstem of mobile e)relids for doll and b6b6 hcads (see dlar,r'ings).The systern consists of cygllds made r,r,itha stamped metal plate activated bv a curved lerrer r,r,hichr,r''asturned bv means of a crank r,r'hich extended from the head on the temple (either right or left).

This principle can easily be compared to the svstem describcd four years earlier b,v Jutcs Nichotas Steinet n ho, betr,r'een 1BB0and 18E1,sought a ner,r'and original means to move thc eves of his b6b6s.

Thesefer,r'lines drawn from the supplement to the patentby l. N. Steiner clearlyshor,r's that the patentfiled by Louis Joseph Joannycould only be null in the and void, and lr.asdefenseless event of a suit, and thus could never be applied.One can only wonder if Joanny filed it out of defianceor out of ignorance;this will remain a mystery.

Let us add here that if r,te baseour information on the explanationsin Joanny'spatent,the headsof the b6b6 should be originally made u,ith a hoLein the temple where the tip of the movement lever comesout. JulesNicolas for this by Steinerhad compensated making a simple slit in the upper part of 30

in Joanny's patent.

The "metamorphosis b6b6" survived several years during the period when French makers \ .ere competing fiercely to turn out new products, due to the increas-

model r,r'hich could provide the answer. ioseph Louis Joanny continued making unbreakable b6b6s, children's toys and clothes for b6b6s. He r,ton a bronze medal

ing foreign and domestic rivalry. Joseph Louis Joanny also turned to "service", offering unbreakabie doll heads to the doll clinics. This became his specialty up

at the 1885 Anturerp Exposition Universelle. He opened a shop on the ground floor at 202 rue de Rivoli, in the annex of a s uper b c i t y m a n s i o n : . H i s s i g n s a i d

Three examples of Steiner's clever ideas are shown in Illustration 1.

this must have been a very successful and popular walking do11and Steiner continued to produce this model over several years.

All four of these dolls have yet another of Steiner's "Trade Marks" - the double row of teeth! It has to be said that such a feature did not make for the most beautiful doll in the world, which probably accounts for the fact ihat the other manufacturers did not rush to copy it. This feature remains, very definitely, a Steiner peculiarity.

Eyes were also given the special Steiner treatment.

Although

most early French Bebes have very beautiful fixed paperweight eyes, Steiner produced a sleeping eye movement which was operated by a lever at the back of the head. This idea was patented in 1880. The lovely Bebe in Illustration 3 is a good example of this and must have

brought yet another dimension of realism to children's play at the end of the 19th Century.

In 1894 Steiner patented his amazing Tireur Automate, or Firing Soldier. This bisque headed figure knelt down, aimed his rifle and fired. He was designed to stand on a three wheeled platform with the clockwork mechanism housed underneath. A similar platform to that seen in Illustration 4 but with a very different figure on top.

This little girl in her beautiful original pink silk dress, skips when her mechanism is wound. Although unmarked, this head is surely made by Steiner, although a similar toy, entitled Bebe Balancoire, appears in a Roullet & Decamps catalogue. Perhaps this is an indication of the cooperation between French manufacturers at this time, with Steiner providing the heads and Roullet & Decamps the movement.

Although

many of the early dolls by Sterner are un-

marked, it is usually quite clear that they are from the Steiner "stable". An example can be seen in Illustration 5.

This shows a small Bebe with pale bisque head and rather rosy cheeks, almond shaped eyes, well painted mouth and feathered brows

and the typically

sturdy

square

The dolls in Illustrations 6 and 7 in contrast, have their full pedigree. One is impressed "A 17" and stamped in red "Le Parisien". The other "Sie C" and also stamped in red "Bourgoin".

(Bourgoin was Manager of the Steiner firm

during the 1880s.) These two illustrations also show us 8. l0-112in. (26 cm.)high.A smallbut beautiful FigureA BebeSteinerin loaelyoriginaloutfit of burgundyprintedsilkdress,underwear and strawhat

Fund-Raisingand Early CommercialVentures For centuries needlework was at the center of women's lives, but most limited their projects to what was needed in their own homes. Women entrepreneurs were a rare breed in this country during the 19th century, but those who distinguished themselves by becoming highly successful dollmakers, one of the few professions available to them, are legendary among collectors. Izannah Walker, Emma Adams, Martha Wellington, Martha Chase and Ella Smith are among those whose cottage industries thrived. As the 20th century dawned, it was a golden age for commercially-made dolls. The Philadelphia Baby by l. e. Sheppard and Company, the Rollinson doll made by the Utley Doll Co., and Kamkins dolls by Louise Kampes, illustrate that "factory-made" need not be a synonym for poor quality. Printed yard goods that were cut-out , sewn and stuffed, and lithographed dolls such as the iater Babyland Rag, and those by Maude Tousy Fangle and Albert Bruckner were also widely available.

Meanwhile several enterprising women were raising money for their churches and related missionary work by selling dolls. The Moravian doll, also know as the Polly Heckwelder, the Presbyterian Rag and julia Beecher's Missionary Rag Baby are delightful examples of charismatic cloth dolls whose creation funded church programs and brought joy to countless children.

A 23 inch moldedstockinetMissionary Rag Baby made by a lulia lones Beecherof Elmira, New York in the late 1890s.The dolls were made by a conmittee of church women under lulia Beecher'sdirection and sold to raise moniesfor aarious church missions.This doll was the childhoodtreasureof Alice Blake,born in Elmira. Her mother purchasedthe doll directly from Mrs. Beecherand dressedit in outgrown baby clothesbelonging to little Alice. I (Lornn) purchasedthis doll directly from Alice when she was in her late eighties.

Perhaps America's number one commercial cloth doll success story is Raggedy Ann and Andy, whose timeless features have not been dimmed by eighty-three years of production.

Any discussion of cloth dolls must pay tribute to the many highly collectible dolls made in Europe, most notably those by Kathe Kruse, Steiff, Chad Valley, Dean's Rag Book and Lenci. From the simple linen wrapped dolls of the early eighteenth century to the artistically rendered needlework sculptures of today's contemporary artists, cloth dolls seemingly have no boundaries other than their use of fabric.

An oil painted Presbyterian doll made by the ladies' sewing committee of the First Presbyterian Church of Bucyrus, Ohio in the 1880s. These dolls were made to raise money to support the church. This is an early example which probably dates to the turn of the century. An inserted piece of t'abric ncross the top of the head arLdtapering out at the neck sides allowed for fuller dimension of the head. The lower legsare made uitit black fabric s imula t i n g s t o c k i n g s .P h o to , Do r o th y M cGo n a g le .

Books &Vicleos World Colors Doll & Dress

by SusanHedrick and Vilma M&tchette The importance of costumesto the study of dolls cannot be overstated.As dolls mirror the real fashion world, they provide an historical record of an era . Th i s t ak es on ev en m o re s i g n i fi cancewhen we speak of dolls wearing th e tra dit ional dr es s of th e i r c o u n try .

As our world map continues to change, as countries divide and annex, and as modern innovations supplant age-o1dcustoms, there is a l wa l s a r is k t hat t he re g i o n a l c o s tumes of a people are lost.

In their recent book World Colors Dress€; Dolls, the learned authors present a fascinating, international look at dolls dating from the early nineteenth century to the present time. Dolls of many different types of materials are illustrated, with information on dol1s and costumes provided by Susan Hedrick, curator of the RosalieWhyel Museum of Doll Art, and Vilma Matchette, a well-known scholar in the area of folk costume.

The inclusion of postcards to show the similarities of dress worn by local residents is a wonderful touch, adding a degree of realism to this delightful and fascinating book.

Nancy N. Schiffer Depictions of Native American peop1ehave no doubt been created for hundreds of years, some lovingly made by family membets, others as commercial ventures to seli to tourists, and some as advertising pieces themselves.Bits of history provide a backdrop for chapters on dolls from the Eastern Woodlands, Plains, Southwest, Northwest and Arctic regions. The color photographs are outstanding, as are many of the dol1s,particularly the early, folk-art examples.
