An astounding 1200 lots will make up this two-part catalog held as part of Theriault’s annual gala January multi-auction weekend. Comprised of the finest in European 18th and 19th century miniature furnishings and accessories, the collection is rich as well in miniature dolls, mignonettes, room settings, and historic dollhouses.

The collection will appeal to the lover of small dolls as well as the seeker of rare miniaturia. Friday Preview 12 Noon. Auction 2 PM. Sunday Preview 9 AM. Auction 11 AM. Catalog $59.

GREETINGS FROM THE NEW DOLL HOUSE WITHINGTON AUCTION, Inc. • 17 Atwood Rd. Hillsborough, NH 03244 • 603-478-3232

In 1959, Dick Withington conducted his first auction of exclusively antique dolls in Hancock, NH. That three-day sale was a great success, the associations he made with many important doll collectors paved the way to his flawless reputation over the fifty years in the Doll Auction Business. At that auction, Dick met Zelda Cushner ( the first Doll Auction Manager), which led to the Strong Museum auctions (his credibility in the doll world soared), and from the 70’s through the present, monthly Doll Auctions at the NH Highway Hotel and now the Holiday Inn - 50 years as the Nation’s Leading Doll Auctioneer. The Doll Auction Business today is so competitive compared to the early days. But the majority of our auctions, are the result of referrals from our customer base – around 3,500 collectors internationally. Often times an old auction receipt prompts the initial phone call: 464-3232 – we still have the SAME phone number! We have, perhaps, the best auction terms in the business, paying our consignors within 24 hours after the accounting is completed and have maintained a record of customer satisfaction for over 50 years.

So why would one choose Withington Auction to sell an important doll collection?

For several reasons: Our auctions present a broad range of dolls for every type of doll buyer – We have a market for your best dolls and will maximize the return on the “lesser merchandise” as well.

We are able to produce a doll auction in less than two months - Including a printed catalogue and website presence – If you need to liquidate your collection – we have one of the fastest turn around times in the business.

Our commission rates are negotiable – based on a sliding scale, commensurate with value of the collection. The better the dolls – the less commission you pay.

We can custom-tailor a doll auction to the individual collector – Many times the auction sale is the first and last time that a doll collection, which took a lifetime to acquire, is on display for the public. Additionally, at our preview parties, we take time to celebrate the life of the collector as well.

In recent times, Withington’s has sold some of the finest dolls in the world of Doll collecting. In the fall of 2007, we began selling dolls from a collection that has come to be known as the “Treasures from the Magic Closet.” Out of a closet no bigger than 5’ x 7’, the cache of 20 French dolls – Brus, Jumeaux, Schmitt, and Steiner - all original, un-restored… In two suitcases, that first auction realized over a quarter of a million dollars!! Happy Consignor?… You betcha! Over the past two years we have made 10 trips to this amazing collection, having the opportunity to sell some wonderful things, and our performance has exceeded expectations.

Just because your dolls appear in a fancy catalogue, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will get any more money for them. The internet participation has virtually eliminated the live audience at an auction, we value our customers. The appearance of higher prices at the time of sale are, many times, undone by the after-auction problems that arise. Our method: We sell your dolls - the bidder pays for their purchases and the consignor gets his money immediately – it’s very simple and everyone is happy.

What can we do to improve this 50-year old auction company. Having worked for many years with Dick Withington, we have learned what is important when it comes to putting together a good auction. Dick was old-fashioned and sometimes found it difficult to make the changes to compete in the 21st century. But Larry is responsible for most of the modern innovations that allow us to have a world presence: the web site, digital photography and computerized accounting. I have been dealing general antiques for 30 years, but the past few years I have been a student of doll collecting – with everyday a learning experience. My greatest teacher and mentor is Dolores, a passionate collector that inspires us all. It has been a wonderful year: Attending our first UFDC Convention - WOW! Getting to know, the members of some of the regional doll clubs – The Doll Study Club of Boston and the Granite State Doll Club, helps me understand how important we are to each other. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives, we are grateful.

See you next year!

Sincerely, Marcia & Larry Leizure

A beautiful chapeau frames a classic A.T. face.

An A.T. & Her Wardrobe F

by Janet Gula

or many collectors to own an A.T. is the ultimate dream doll fantasy but to own an A.T. with a wardrobe is beyond the imagination.

The dolls of Andre Florent Thuillier rank as some of the most beautiful created in “la belle époque”, a period considered the golden age of doll manufacturing. Thuillier purchased a doll factory in 1872 and was advertising his “bebes” by 1880 at the peak of the golden era. Born the son of a peddler in 1832, Thuillier seems to have apprenticed at a porcelain factory where he learned the trade of porcelain production and more specifically porcelain dolls’ heads manufacturing. There is evidence that he purchased dolls heads from Francois Gaultier and it has also been suggested that there was some connection to the Steiner firm. Thuillier manufactured dolls off and on until 1898 and then it is probable that he sold his company to Verdier and Gutmacher. A.T.’s are found on a variety of 20

Note also the detailing of the feathers on the hat in the painting and how it is mirrored in the A.T.’s chapeau.

body types (leather, wood and composition) but the head modeling remains consistent. The quality varied however with later dolls more heavily painted and in some cases with open mouths and teeth.

The A.T. who is the subject of this article is a blue eyed classic beauty with a wood and composition body standing approximately nineteen inches tall. Her wardrobe came to her current owner separately from the doll and by good luck. Purchased at a NADDA show, the wardrobe was thought to have been originally made for a Bru. When the owner got the wardrobe home she was initially disappointed to discover the wardrobe did not fit her Bru but then decided to try the different outfits on her A.T. They fit like a glove.

Obviously representing the finest of French children’s couture the origins of the outfits are unknown. Were they made for commercial purchase or for one particularly lucky little girl? While the clothes are meticulously constructed the bonnets are of amazing quality and are certainly professionally made. Representations of similar outfits can be found in the catalogues of Jumeau or the trade cards based on the paintings of Luigi Loir. They are reminders of the richness of the age they were made in. The biggest mystery remains as to what happened to the doll they were originally made for and how the doll and her clothing became separated. Have the doll and her wardrobe been magically reunited? The owner would like to think so.

A

s suggested in our previous articles about WWI French dolls, the most striking result of the Great War was the emergence in some “femmes du monde”, members of the upper bourgeoisie and noblesse classes, of qualities so long dormant that they practically were unsuspected.

In that terrible year of 1914, when Germans were driving like a hurricane on Paris and its inhabitants were fleeing in droves to the South, many femmes du monde decided to stay and created relief organizations of infinite variety known as “oeuvres”. They understood war could go on for years and were determined to do their part to help poor families left without revenues.

Aside from the industrial class, the Parisian women who suffered most from the outbreak of the war were those that worked in the shops, restaurants and households, throwing thousands of girls and women out of work. There were also the women of the Opera chorus, and those connected with the theatre. Soon after mobilization, the French banks announced that they would no longer honor bond payments.

Many women who relied on income from bonds would have starved if the women of the more fortunate classes had not immediately begun to organize relief stations and ouvroirs (workrooms) to help them. So the next step in aiding this army of helpless women was to open ouvroirs, many specialising in the making of toys, dolls and doll clothing.

A vintage article tells us that the once famous Abbaye de

Pendore.

Portrait.

“Pandore”, a lady doll sculpted by Prix de Rome Louis-Aime Lejeune for Valentine Thomson and produced at Limoge by Lanternier. Bisque head and upper torso to below the bust is modeled in one piece. There are holes in the sides of the bisque shoulders for the wires to come out to affix to the padded cloth-covered upper arms. Perfect bisque lower arms with graceful modelling.

Thumbs separated with left one returning to her palm, allowing her to carry her purse. Light pink fingernails. Body is padded and cloth (stockinette) covered to resemble underclothing. She has her original couture costume which consists of a knee length (melting) chiffon half slip and a bold floral print watered silk two piece dress in nice condition with only minor melting at her left shoulder. Collar, cuffs and hemline are trimmed with finely crocheted lace.

Very slim long lower legs are of papier mache, with painted black stockings and shiny black high heeled pumps. Metal buckles and leather decorate the toes. She has her original leather purse with metal frame that holds a small hankie. Her extraordinary facial features include: solid black eyebrows, eyes fully outlined with extensions at the outer corners, white enameled eyeballs with painted black pupils in blue irises, molded eyelids with brown shadow lines above and below her eyes, red dots at eye corners and nostrils, two toned cheek complexion , closed mouth with high peaks on her full upper lip, light blush across her shoulders, long neck with turned uplifted head.

Montmartre had become a workroom for the dressers of dolls, a revived industry which gave employment to hundreds of women. Some of the wildest revels of Paris had taken place in this restaurant, now lined with rows of dolls, dressed in every national costume of allied Europe. They were described as sitting sedately against the walls – “Montenegrins, Serbians, Russians, Italians, Sicilians, Roumanians, Poilus, Alsatians, Tommies” – a strange medley, correctly but cheaply dressed.

At little tables, mute records of disreputable nights, women sat stitching, and outside, the streets of Montmartre were as silent as the grave.

One of the most active “femmes du monde” during the war was Valentine Thomson, a brilliant Parisian young feminist, whose father in 1914 held the position of Ministre du Commerce. Her forefathers on either side had for generations been in public life, and she and her grandmother had both won prominence by writing.

In March, 1914, Valentine established a weekly newspaper which she called La Vie Feminine. The little journal had a twofold purpose: to offer every sort of news and encouragement to the by no means flourishing party and to give advice, assistance, and situations to women out of work.

It may be imagined that such a woman would be in a position to induce half the prominent men and women in France either to write for the newspaper or to give interviews, and this she did; she had a magnificent publicity sense. The early issues of La Vie Femine were filled with names known to “tout Paris”. It flourished in

both branches, and splendid offices were opened on the Avenue des Champs Elysées. Women came for advice and employment and found both. A few months later, came the war.

Valentine Thomson’s plans were formed in a day, her committees almost as quickly. La Vie Féminine opened no less than seven ouvroirs, where five hundred women were given work. She, together with Madame la Baronne de Laumont, Mlle Rachel Boyer and Mme Paul Simon decided to found in October 1914 a group called “La Ligue du Jouet Français” to help the injured solders rebuild their lives. The greater number could not work at their old vocations, being minus an arm or a leg, nevertheless, they learned to make toys and many useful articles and worked at home. A vast number of these Valentine Thomson and various members of her committee located and encouraged, and once a fortnight, collected their work which was either sold in Paris or sent to America.

To help to sell the toys and dolls to the states, Valentine Thomson sent one of her friends, Mme Larivière, to the U.S. as the accredited representative of the “Fédération des Jouets Français” (French Toys Federation) formed for the benefit of the mutilated soldiers. The toys Mme Larivière brought with her, made by the wounded soldiers, were shown at an exhibition at the Knickerbocker Club in connection with teas, dancing and other attractions.

Because Valentine wanted the best for the dolls, she asked famous French artist and Prix de Rome Louis-Aime Lejeune to sculpt a very special doll for La Ligue du Jouet. She patented the name “Pandore,” and had the lady doll dressed by the most famous Paris grand couturiers.

Valentine Thomson’s friend, Madame la Baronne de Laumont, who lived in the Avenue Malakoff, was also very enthusiastic about the renewal of French dolls. Soon her drawing room became the center for the newest French fashions for dolls.

She asked French artist Jules Edmond Masson to sculpt a doll head which she named Lorraine, after the actual French north east state, which was held by Germany at the time. Her dolls were dressed in various costumes ranging from ethnic to fashion styles. Some of these dolls were exhibited in San Francisco at the Pavillon Français for the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition and

met with much success. A vintage photo from the exposition shows about sixteen of those precious dolls, dressed in rich and elaborate costumes from the 18th and 19th century.

Mlle. Valentine Thomson and a very able group of women working throughout France had in a few weeks made the new industry known to all classes. In the country peasants skilled in the ancient art of woodcarving were at work in their own houses. Precious bits of old fine woods were carved into beautiful heads. La Duchesse d’Uzes, douairière, (douairière is a term used for wealthy widows of the aristocracy) set herself to the task of reviving almost forgotten crafts. At Marvejols, Madame la Comtesse de Las Cases founded what was to become the first of the rural industries for making toys.

As in Russia and in Germany, each province was encouraged to give expression to its native talents. Even when the execution of these toys was not quite perfect, the form was gracious and the colors harmonious.

Before the war, Germany sold millions of francs worth of toys to France each year; suddenly France was making toys for its own, as well as the rest of the world. La ligue du Jouet solicited well known porcelain manufacturers, from Limoges and Boulogne sur Mer, to start making bisque dolls for Poupons Gallia by Mlle Desaubliaux

Antonin Mercié created this special doll for L’Oeuvre des Parrains et Marraines de guerre des Enfants Réfugiès (O.P.M.E.R. stands for charitable organization of God fathers and God mothers of Orphans refugees) headed by H.M. Queen of Belgium. 12 of those artistic dolls were exhibited, dressed as Parisian women from all times, from Queen Clotilde and Queen Berthe to Mme Récamier and the 1916 “elegante”. Some of “Poupée Mercié” were dressed by Mme Amie Guitry’s ouvroir, but the most precious were dressed

by Maison Paquin and Ateliers de Couture Drecoll Place de l’Opéra.

Photo was taken at the 1916 Musee des Arts Décoratifs de Paris Exhibition.

the children of France, as well as expensive fashion doll heads and exquisite hands for “art dolls for adults”.

Limoge Manufacturer Lanternier made several dolls, the most precious being the lady doll named “Pandore”, especially created for Valentine Thomson by famous French artist Louis Aimé Lejeune. Another lady doll made by Lanternier was Mme la Baronne de Laumont’s “Lorraine”. A few other molds produced

by Lanternier were “Mon Cherie” and Bébé. Another one considered as a “bébé character” by the maker was named “Favorite”. He also made all bisque mignonettes. By 1915, nearly 25,000 doll heads were shipped every month from Limoges.

Verlingue, another well known French porcelain manufacture located at Boulogne sur Mer, was also asked

by La Ligue du Jouet to produce doll heads. These new dolls were named “Liane”, “Petite Française” and “Lutin” (goblin). He also produced all bisque “Mignonette” Vintage photo dolls, often dressed in French of two dolls provincial costumes. created by Leo Claretie, in his 1916 article Aurore Lauth Sand and given from Le Monde Illustré, wrote to Musée des that Manufacture de Sèvres Arts Decoratifs participated in the renewal of de Paris by French dolls during WWI.

I questioned them personally, Manufacture de Sèvres explained that this article had been misinterpreted: in fact, no dolls were ever made at their factory, but they had offered some of their Twin brother and sister.

Cloth doll dressed as a Spanish Gypsy

by Aurore Lauth Sand. This specific doll is one of two made especially for a fervent admirer of Georges Sand.

The two dolls were made in 1916 at Chateau de Nohant and offered with a letter dated from 1917 (still with the dolls today). Aurore wrote : “ … two dolls, signed, and bringing with them some of this parfum so dear to me and that you are feeling without having known it personally. Because you have chosen these two dolls which are the only ones to have on them a little piece of Nohant’s material, it means that you had the intuition of the feeling”. The shawl on this doll (as well as the black veil of the second doll dressed as a lady from Seville) was made from material remaining from her grandmother’s (George Sand) puppet theatre. Doll on the photo is hand signed and dated on the left leg, she is 36 cm, the second one not shown is 45 cm.

Désirat Lafitte wax doll. This wax-head fashion lady type doll has painted and molded features and mohair wig. The body is made of wrapped wire armatures with wax arms. This is one of numerous famous dolls, created from 1902 to early 20’s by two sisters, Augusta Daussat Désirat and Louise Daussat Lafitte who designed them to display the fashion of the time. It is said the wax dolls could have been made by Musée Grevin Paris. The face has painted features. This doll is dressed in a nurse uniform of navy blue and white linen, with the red cross on her cape. She stands 13 inches tall.

Limoges and Boulogne who visited during the war to learn their sophisticated technologies. The company still retains records from J. Verlingue who stayed a few months at Sèvres at the beginning of WWI to study.

There have been many questions about who made the special French glazed porcelain doll heads with painted features we have attributed to the prestigious Manufacture de Sèvres. Of the few we have examined, some have shoulder heads attached to a cloth body, others have socket heads which may be attached to a porcelain shoulder top, or to an ordinary wood body. When examining closely the glazed porcelain socket head belonging to Musée de la Poupée Paris, one may read “Enfant de France” engraved in the neck. The maker who used this particular label is unknown.

Beside the classical bisque and china type production, many artists living in France started to create their own dolls soon after artist Stefania Lazarska had shown them the way in August 1914.

One of those early artists was Fryda Frankowska, who had left the “Atelier Artistique Polonais” to start her own successful production of unique cloth dolls in her loft located at rue Madame. A few of her expensive dolls were made of suede with embroidered features and real silk hair. She worked with her daughter making the dolls and dressed them by herself in a very fashionable and elegant way. We know of a few of these precious dolls having won ribbons at UFDC Conventions, even without clear identification, which shows how attractive they are.

Another early cloth doll maker during WWI was Mlle Desaubliaux who was living at Boulogne sur Mer, where Verlingue was starting his production of bisque dolls. This community of doll makers gave Desaubliaux the idea to make dolls too. She used mainly cloth to create very artistic lady dolls dressed in 19th century fashion, as well as dolls featuring young children she named “poupons”.

All her dolls have the signature “Gallia” on the foot.

Yerri and friends created by Alsacian writer and illustrator Jean-Jacques Waltz, known as “Oncle Hansi”.

Many more interesting new creations were displayed at the “ Exposition des Jouets Artistiques “ at Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris in April and October 1916, where one could also discover Georges Lepape’s modern art wood dolls, which were dressed by his wife in the style of Paul Poiret, a family friend.

Paul Poiret asked his young employees working for his shop, “Les Martines” (opened in 1911 and named after his new baby daughter) to make dolls. Paul Poiret was well aware of Stefania Lazarska’s success with cloth dolls, as his own sister, Grand Couturier Germaine Bongard, was using her luxurious house to display Stefania’s creations to be sold to “le tout Paris”. Les Martines cloth dolls were one-of-a-kind and not meant to be played with. Very few seem to have remained today, however we doubt that collectors know what they are if by any chance they come across one of them. Later on, by 1925, Russian artist Simon Segal also created dolls for Paul Poiret, with a kind of “grotesque” look.

Mme Ouvré also made cloth dolls, one of them, which belongs to Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, being a Charlie Chaplin.

French artist and Prix de Rome Antonin Mercié made a doll maquette for “l’Oeuvre des Réfugiés Belges”. This very particular doll was dressed in various costumes spanning the centuries.

One also has to note the dolls of Mlle Jozon and those of Mlle Elizabeth Nourse, who both dressed their dolls in Britanian costumes; Mlle Poupelet made a doll named “La Petite Fadette” and Mlle Rooschann made original baby dolls. Mlle Lambrusquini made black African dolls, vintage magazines speak of dolls made by Mme Join-Lambert, Mlle Manson made dolls dressed after the fairytales of Perrault and Mlle Duval, a young American student from Ecole des Beaux Arts, made very interesting “poupards”, some of which are still kept in private American collections.

Another well-known woman to create dolls during WWI was Aurore Lauth Sand, the granddaughter of famous French author George Sand. Age 48 at the beginning of the war, she was married to French painter Frédéric Lauth. She lived in Paris, rue Continued on page 59

Yerri doll by Hansi and produced

by J.P. Gallais in Priallytine (ceramic composition). Doll was originally holding a little French flag in his right hand, and had a paper label attached to his hand figurine a school tablet with “Hansi” written in hand writing style.

Yerri had also a sister doll dressed in Alsacian costume with the well known big black bow on the head.

Pierrot, Pierrette and Colombine created by famous French painter and caricaturist Adolphe Léon Willette, whose art was most often linked with the legendary figures of Pierrot. His first Pierrot appeared in Montmartre’s magazine “Le Chat Noir” (Black Cat) in the early 80’s, and in 1888 he founded a periodical entitled “Pierrot”. Pierrot, a major character of classic comedia del arte, was traditionally close to the heart of French culture, but Willette changed the character, giving him a modern pathetic existence. The theme of Pierrot, Pierette, Arlequin and Colombine was often used after WWI, with the new arrival of modern adult dolls named “Poupées de Salon”. Willettes’s dolls whose maker was J. Galais, are all articulated and signed “WILETTE” on the left foot, and are made of Priallytine (ceramic composition). Original clothes made of white satin (and white tull for dancing Colombine). Colombine has molded and painted dancing shoes, as well as molded flowers in her molded red hair.

Pierrette has molded black hair, and Pierrot (two of them shown) wears a black painted cap. They originally had a round paper label with a crescent moon and “A. Wilette” printed on one side, and J.P. Gallais & Cie Editeurs Paris on the other side. 21 cm. Photo taken by Samy Odin, looking into a glass cabinet, at the Musée de la Poupée Paris.

The Richard Wright Collection October 10

I

reported by Donna C. Kaonis photos Keith Kaonis

t would not be an overstatement to say that in his years buying and selling (beginning at age 11) more dolls passed through Richard Wright’s hands than any other dealer. His presence on the Antiques Roadshow brought him national attention. He was famous for “flipping,” buying entire doll collections and quickly turning them over without a large mark-up, making both collectors and dealers very happy. Thus, the opportunity to own something that he valued enough to add to his personal collection proved irresistible.

Queen Anne doll in original costume, c. 1720, 25 inches, in wood case, $50,362.50. This was the signature doll that decorated Richard’s shopping bags.

Rare Belsnickel Squeak Toy, c. 1870, $3851.25

Close personal friends Andy and Becky Ourant served as specialists for the Wright sale, cataloguing the collection for Skinner’s.

Along with Nancy Smith they gave attendees a preview of the collection at the Friday evening reception. A large crowd of collectors had assembled by Friday afternoon at Skinner’s new Marlborough gallery.

Andy Ourant and Skinner specialist Stuart Whitehurst called the auction at a brisk even pace. Richard’s eclectic tastes favored early dolls – woodens, papier mache, chinas and cloth – and rare German characters. His sense of humor embraced items quirky and interesting as well as toys, teddy bears, candy containers, bisque figurines, miniatures, folk art, doll clothing and accessories. He was a stickler for condition and originality.

Attendees at the new Skinner Marlborough gallery.

Steiff Petsy Bear, 13 inches, c. 1930, $16,590

Martha Chase Alice in Wonderland Four-Piece Set, c. 1920, $40,290

The no reserve auction garnered 1.3 million with 100% of the lots sold.

As a collector of early dolls, I can say with all sincerity that it was the finest assemblage of china, papier mache and wooden dolls that I have ever had the privilege to bid on. It was gratifying to see so many successful bidders leaving with their dolls of distinguished provenance. Skinner’s will conduct the Richard Wright sale of Decorative Arts and Furniture on October 24 in their Boston gallery.

1920 Steiff Teddy Bear with glass eyes, c. 1920, 17.5 inches, $10,665

he Door of Hope Mission in Shanghai opened in 1901. For those unfamiliar with the Door of Hope Mission, it was an interdenominational mission started by five women in Shanghai seeking to better the lives of girls and women sold into the brothels of the International Settlement. These missionary women represented the Presbyterian, Baptist, Anglican and Methodist faiths as well as one woman from the China Inland Mission.

Cornelia Leavenworth Bonnell was the mission’s first resident missionary worker.

Following her graduation from Vassar, she entered the Baptist Theological College in Newton. She later applied to the Baptist Foreign Mission Board to go to China, but was rejected because of poor health. She prayed for “divine intervention” and her prayers were answered.

Miss Martha Jewell, who had an English school in Shanghai, on learning of Miss Bonnell’s desire to go to China, wrote offering a teaching position at her school. On her arrival in Shanghai,

They often returned for visits or to stay at the mission during times of unrest in their home villages. 35th Annual Report of the Door of Hope & Children’s Refuge, Shanghai, China 1935 on file at the Library of The Yale Divinity School, New Haven, CT.

The Amah with baby also called the Cantonese Amah with Baby is the child’s nursemaid.

Amahs are also maids. In the brothel world, amahs are the caretakers of the prostitutes, and the young sing-sing girls.

The baby has splayed legs, to fit comfortably on the back of the amah.

Baby in Bunting.

Babies in China were swaddled.

This baby can be removed from her blanket. She has straight legs.

Amah. This amah is a maid. She wears an apron attached to the center frog hook of her outer jacket.

The apron ties in the back, usually with a thin cord or black cord.

Bonnell saw first hand the dire conditions that young girls and women in the red light district were faced with. Miss Jewell brought the five founders of the Door of Hope and Miss Bonnell together, and thus they began the mission’s 50 years of service to the oppressed women and children of Shanghai.

The girls first entered the Door of Hope at the Receiving Home. They would remain there until a custody hearing was held at the Municipal Court. Cornelia Bonnell aptly represented these girls and gained custody of most.

Once the girls were in the mission’s custody, they were assigned either to the First Year Home, the Infirmary or the Children’s Home. In the first year home, days were filled with classes in reading, writing and bible studies. They worked on the Doll Project only after they were proficient in sewing their own clothing. The “Model Dolls” as they were called, represent two classes in Chinese society and various milestones in their lives.

There were babies, children, young boys and girls, young men and women, brides and grooms, mourners, elders, farmers, monks and Manchu ladies. Each were clothed in removable

The Boy in Silk is between 8” and 9”. He is a later doll with a Western hairstyle.

The Buddhist Priest has 12 dents in the top of his bald head, representing scars from burning incense in cups on the head. His clothing is made from course cotton material. Some of these priests are female as well, as documented by Chinese writing inserted in the clothing.

garments and not only represented the people of the late Qing Dynasty period but also the Republic of China and the westernization of the Chinese people.

The dolls provided some small income to the girls, while serving as models of womanhood.

The mission took orders for the dolls, rather than keeping supplies on hand. Thus, when imitation dolls were being sold in shops in Shanghai, the mission had a reduction in sales, but did not suffer losses.

Kimport Dolls of Independence, Missouri featured the Door of Hope dolls in their “Doll Talk For Collectors” bi-monthly pamphlet. It was a favorite for collectors, especially those people who specialized in international dolls.

Pamphlets and annual reports sent to the missionaries’ homeland parishes featured stories of the rescued girls and women, encouraging more support as well as the purchase of the dolls.

Orders came from various sponsors and supporting churches in the United States, Great Britain, Australia and South Africa. Missionaries brought dolls to their families and parishes when on furlough or returning home permanently.

The dolls, known throughout China’s Western missionary and medical population, were much sought after as treasured reminders of their life in China, and to be used for teaching or raising funds for the mission.

The Elderly Man and Lady have hair painted with light brush strokes to represent graying and thinning hair.

He will have a queue, and her bun will be painted black with a gold or silver bar through the bun.

She will always have bound feet.

The Kindergarten Child is a wonderful likeness of the young child in pre- Republic China.

She has an apron with a pocket to carry a sweet or toy. She has silk embroidered kitten slippers and a silk embroidered hat with tiger ears. She also has a silk embroidered collar. The rest of her clothing is usually cotton.

Missionaries, after returning home, often took orders for dolls as well. One such missionary was Elsie Clark Krug.

Born on August 6, 1888, she was one of seven children born to George and Sara Clark of Baltimore, Maryland. She attended the Girls’ Latin School, Goucher College and Johns Hopkins University. She thereafter earned her Master’s Degree at the University of Chicago Divinity School. A well educated and independent woman, she sought a career that was acceptable for single women at the turn of the century. She chose to go to

Elsie Krug only spent 6 years as a missionary in China. She travelled extensively after returning to the U. S. and sold the Door of Hope dolls and other international items from her Shop in Baltimore. Elsie Clark Krug Papers, RG 142. Special Collections, Yale Divinity Library.

The Manchu Lady is usually 12” tall and this doll has carved hands and legs with shoes carved and painted.

Her head with carved hair and ornamentation is complete with tassels.

43

The Schoolboy in Cotton is dressed in all cotton except his leggings which are silk. He is between 7” and 9” in height.

The policeman’s clothing is usually black wool or coarse cotton material.

The design differs from the earlier to later dolls. Some have paper fasteners as buttons and on the top of the hat. He is usually 11-12” tall

The Small Boy in Silk and Small Girl in Silk are usually about 7” in height. He comes with a silk colorful skull cap.

She has a silk embroidered or decorated hat (similar to a headband) which has black fringe bangs in the front and longer fringe in the back.

The Schoolgirl in Cotton is between 7” and 9” and is dressed all in cotton. She does not have a hat or headband.

China as a missionary teacher, and accepted a six-year teaching position in China. Elsie arrived in China in 1912 and, after learning the Chinese language, commenced teaching at Hwa Nan College in Fuzhou, south of Shanghai. Although she only spent six years as a Methodist missionary in China, she kept in touch with her students for years. After returning home she married Andrew H. Krug and they had one child, Dorothy.

She traveled around the world in 1932 and took other trips over the next 25 years. During her travels she bought items for a gift shop she opened. The shop featured Chinese embroideries, clothing and other articles, including dolls. She often gave talks, including one on “Dressing an Empress”, in which she would discuss the clothing of the Qing Dynasty. She had examples of clothing as well. As a dealer involved in the sale of the Door of Hope Mission dolls, she wrote many letters to her collectors and was always sharing her knowledge of the mission and the dolls. Elsie retired in 1953, two years after the Door of Hope Mission in Shanghai closed.

The Table Boy is between 11” and 12 1/2” tall and is dressed all in cotton, except his leggings which are silk. The earlier models will have queues and black skull caps. The later dolls will have Western style hair and skull caps.

The majority of the Door of Hope dolls can be found in the museums and private collections throughout the United States, Great Britain, and other countries. There are 24 Model Dolls as reported in the 1940 Annual Report of the Door of Hope Mission. There also were special orders.

The Young Lady (10”-11”) comes with either a bee hive bun with a painted ornament in the bun or a standards oval bun with a painted bar through it. She may have bound feet shoes or slipper type shoes.

The Young Man in Silk (11”-12”) has either the early queue or the later Western hair style

FRENCH DOLLS FROM WW I, continued from page 31 d’Assas, but went to her grandmother’s home at Chateau de Nohant when WWI started. Chateau de Nohant is the place where George Sand and her son (father of Aurore), painter Maurice Dudevant, had made “dolls” (in fact puppets) for their private “puppets theater” during her childhood. Those puppets, sculpted and painted by Maurice, had luxurious, rich clothing hand made by Georges Sand herself. 125 puppets were created, and from 1854 to 1872, about 120 theatre presentations were given at Chateau de Nohant for the family and their closet friends. George Sand wrote an article about those puppets in May 1876 issue of Le Temps magazine, saying that she and Maurice “were loving them like children love their dolls”.

During WWI, Aurore started to make her own dolls, using material from the remaining puppet theatre. Dolls were one of a kind, and usually hand signed, dated at the top of the left leg, and were made of cloth or suede. Sizes varied more or less between 25 cm up to 50 cm. Vintage magazines show photos of Aurore between her numerous hand made dolls, and some of them are still found today with a letter of identification written by the creator herself.

The last dolls created during WWI we would like to speak about, are the dolls made by French painter Berthe Noufflard.

Berthe Noufflard was essentially a portraitist, however, after the birth of her first daughter, Henriette, in 1915 , Berthe started making dolls, some to be used as decoration, and some to be played with, including an interesting all articulated toddler baby.

Her dolls were the most incredible artistic creations made during this very particular period of French history. The

Little Red Riding Hood. Artist doll

by French painter Berthe Noufflard.

This artistic doll is not a play doll, but an ornament for a child’s room.

Painted head, hands and lower legs are made of plaster composition, on a stuffed cloth body.

invention she has showed in those rare creations will be the subject of a later article and we would like to end this article with an example of her unique talent.

Note : We would like to thanks Maison Lanvin for their rare photos of Jeanne Lanvin’s dolls, François Theimer for having discovered the precious Fryda Frankowska doll shown here, and to give a very special thanks to Samy Odin, for having shared with us his rare collection from Musée de la Poupée Paris.

Exquisite Fans at the Puppenhausmuseum Basel

T

his special exhibition (October 17 to April 5, 2010) features over 200 fans from the private collection of Madame Volet’s. Fans have played a major role in the social life of different eras over the centuries. The various types, including brisé fans, folding fans, cabriolet fans and balloon fans, have reflected the prevailing trends in art as well as the intellectual and cultural climate. Fans have been considered a status symbol and an essential fashion accessory.

They have served as an advertising medium and even had a secret language of their own.

Different artisans were commonly involved in making the costly and artfully decorated frames, including ivory carvers, sculptors and jewellers.

Fans were often used for very different purposes and in some instances hold diverse secrets that are not readily apparent at first glance. This includes fans that can serve as opera glasses or even as an efficient weapon.

Beautifulbebes.com One gaze from this delicious seventeen inch beauty, ca. early to mid 1700's, sends the steed of your imagination throttling back to stone hearths, pewter plates, knights of the realm and ladies of the court. This charming and exceedingly well carved and preserved damsel is dressed in coral and ecru ribbed silk damask with a lovely fray of metallic thread trim. Original human hair wig with some later hair added attached with old nails and coiled attractively, caught in lovely net lace cap. Her well carved body and peg jointed legs are sturdy and in excellent condition except for a partial missing ring finger. Pupiless black eyes gaze from her placid face holding secrets of two centuries past. Her gesso finish glows with the patina of time. A delicate balance of history and mystery, she beckons to be cherished and tickles your curiosity about the long ago days of yore. $13,500

This delicate painting by Jean-Marc Nattier (March 17, 1685 – November 7, 1766), French painter born in Paris. He is noted for his portraits of the ladies of King Louis XV’s court in classical mythological attire. Beautiful old reprint in exquisite gilt frame 21"x25". A perfect compliment to the doll room. $350

Swivel neck on kid edged leather gusset body. Her posture is a bit saucy and and her effect is positively captivating; this 15" fashion attributed to Jumeau will claim your heart with her winsome ways! $4250. *deemed antique, possibly original
