Description: DOLLS AND DOLLS’ HOUSES – A Collector’s Introduction by Roger Baker, Crescent Books, London, 1973. ”The miniature world of dolls and dolls’ houses has always held a special fascination not only for children but also for adults; and collecting the exquisite dolls and the finely detailed dolls’ houses of past centuries is now a rapidly growing pastime. Here is a colorful introduction to the history of dolls, which have been known in some form to almost every civilization. It also covers the comparatively recent development of dolls’ houses, which were originally simply cabinets made to display beautiful miniature objects. Many different kinds of dolls, such as wooden dolls Queen Victoria dressed and the exquisite Jumeau dolls, are illustrated, together with some of the most interesting dolls’ houses of each period, including one that contains some of the work of Chippendale.” Oversize 9” x 12.1” hardback with dust cover in good condition (previous owner's gift inscription penned on first blank page). 64 pages.
