"A truly comprehensive guide..." -- All Dolled Up, November 1999.
Product Description
The focus of this reference textbook is the German bisque dolls produced from the early 1880s until the merging of the Kestner factory with Kammer and Reinhardt in the 1930s. Featured in this comprehensive story of Kestner are 530 very detailed black/white plus 77 full colour photographs. For the first time the Kestner Character Children have been gathered together and shown in one place as a series. Also covered are the desirable Hilda dolls (many variations, Bye-Lo babies, the Century dolls, Kewpies, googly eyed dolls, lady dolls), not to mention the chapters on the closed mouth, open-mouth, character babies and all bisque dolls. Extensive research work has been compiled with the mould numbers to further aid identification. The beautiful pictures by Howard Foulke plus the keen research information can be considered a collection to itself.
