Circa: 1983
Manufacturer: Main Street Press, NJ
Featuring 250 illustrations, 40 in full color and discussion of over 500 dolls, this rare out-of-print book covers 'the enormous variety of dolls produced in Germany during its golden age of doll manufacturing, roughly 1880 to 1930. During this half century, German doll manufacturers not only produced almost every conceivable type of doll then sold—from china, bisque, and papier-mâché to molded tin and celluloid—but came to dominate the world market, eventually deposing even the great French master Jumeau as 'king of the dollmakers.' … Among the world-famous makers whose works are illustrated and discussed are Kammer & Reinhardt, Simon & Halbig, J.D. Kestner, Armand Marseille, Gebruder Heubach, Heinrich Handwerck, Kathe Kruse, Kley & Hahn, Franz Schmidt, Schoenau & Hoffmeister, Hermann Steiner, C.F. Kling, Bahr & Proschild, and dozens of others. Their vast output, ranging from enormously popular dolly-faced dolls and amazingly lifelike character babies to such novelties as googly-eyed dolls and bisque and celluloid swimmers with key-wind mechanisms, fill the pages of this attractive and informative book.'
