Circa: 1948
Manufacturer: Bonanza Books, N.Y.
With more than 450 doll photographs and descriptions, this early out-of-print book is a comprehensive text on antique dolls – their origins, makers, and types.
THE DOLLS OF YESTERDAY by Eleanor St. George, Bonanza Books, N.Y., 1948.
'From doll collectors all over the country, Mrs. St. George gathered information about their collections and photographs of their favorites. This material is in her book, together with data on almost every type of doll ever made. For example, there is, at last, the true story of the rare Joel Ellis doll; a section on Black dolls; new facts which have come to light about the Schoenhuts; the history of the lovely Jumeaus, and more new material on wax penny dolls, the English pedlars, and the strange little poppets. The various dolls described in each chapter of the book are illustrated by photographs. Here one will find pictures of all America’s doll celebrities. Notable, for example, is 'Mollie Brinkerhoff' of Revolutionary War fame; old 'Peg Wooden,' who belonged to John Nott, founder of Springfield, Vermont; Mrs. St. George’s own 'Ridiklis,' and 'Queen Victoria,' who had the honor of receiving an autograph from Helen Hayes. Many other equally famous dolls also have their photographs in the book. Although written especially for doll-collectors, the material is presented in such an entertaining fashion that others who chance upon it are likely to be charmed into joining the ranks of the doll-collecting enthusiasts.'
