Introduction Featuring the important 50year collection of Lila Rait of Victoria, Australia, author of the 1989 book Through the Nursery Window (Oxford University Press, 1989). In her foreword to that book, Constance Eileen King notes that Lila writes “of a country and pattern of childhood that was completely divorced from that of Europe, a pattern that forced the Australian child into a greater perception of the wonder of a single toy…[yet] Lila Rait tells too of the boom years in the 19th century when, glutted with vast wealth, parents travelled widely and purchased very expensive dolls in the capital of Europe”. It is this collection, notable not only for the wonderful dolls, but also for the provenance which accompanies many of the dolls, which make this two-day auction an event of delight. x

The doll, during my young years, rested in a box at the bottom of the bookcase in the salon. I had to content myself with playing with smaller dolls that I received each year with my subscription to Semaine de Suzette. This doll, a little mysterious, came to live with me in time and it is with great regret that I am separating from it. I have no one to leave it with. My dearest hope is to see it adopted by someone who will love and take care of her.” $90,000/140,000
