Doll News Spring 2015 - (Page 66)

The need for adult fashion dolls has been integral to the world of children as generation after generation of girls prepared to become women. For the collector of today the study and enjoyment of lady dolls also encompasses an interest in fashion itself and the intricacies of style. These motivations and interests unite collectors of the 19th century lady dolls with those who adore 20th century fashion dolls and those who enjoy the fashion dolls of today. UFDC Shared Passions 2014 Special Exhibit Shared Passions Sponsored and mounted by Kathy Monier Contributors Donelle Denery Elizabeth Schmahl Linda Edward Nancy Smith Lynette Gross Mary Lu Trowbridge German and French Child dolls of the 1880s provided idealized representations of childhood health and beauty of the period. 66 SPRING 2015 R egardless of the area in doll collecting that may interest each of us, when we step back and look at the big picture we are sure to find that we share common bonds with other collectors, often in ways we might not have considered. What are the common threads that unite us as collectors? Whether we are drawn to Antique, Vintage or Modern dolls the characteristics that engage us in an area in collecting have remained essentially the same throughout the past 200 years of doll play. This exhibit illustrated these common themes by looking at the Lady Dolls, Child Dolls and Baby Dolls that collectors enjoy. During the puppen reform of the 1890s to 1910s makers such as Kathe Kruse, Marion Kaulitz and Martha Chase strove to create child dolls that emphasized nature and nurture. Many child dolls were produced during the era of the American made composition doll (left). And modern child dolls will be the nostalgic collectibles of future generations (American Girl's Addie, right).
