1 comments about The Half-Doll With Related Items, Makers & Values VOLUME 1.
- Marc and Shona have picked up where earlier books of the 1970's left off.
The half dolls showcased in their book are identified, some history is given along with maker's marks, and the whole thing is well thought out.
Given the recurring popularity of half dolls (they've never really disappeared) the creativity that was expressed in their design by German and French firms of the late 1800's-1930's is tremendous. The factories put emphasis on the finely detailed crafting of these porcelain pieces. Coincidentally, the timing and high point of half doll sculpting is around the time the Bauhaus art movement was in full flower.
Soon thereafter the German factories were nationalized for war efforts.
These wonderful little ladies and gents were all but forgotten until the early books by Marion & Werner were written.
Marc & Shona know their half dolls! The book is well-written, thoughtfully organized and keeps the fun in it's presentation. They've covered a wide variety of half dolls from around the world. Their second volume continues the thread through some lesser known firms.
Good job! Enjoyable read for the serious (and not-so-serious) doll collector.
