Another release in the Sirocco Historical Doll Series, Dolls of the Golden Age surveys French, German and American dolls from 1880 to 1915. The research, script and primary collection of dolls were provided by the Colemans-Dorothy, Elizabeth Ann and Evelyn Jane-the authors of The Collector's Encyclopedia of Dolls and recognized worldwide as authorities on antique dolls. The Colemans review play dolls made by the integrated European manufacturers-Jumeau and Kestner; by parts suppliers and assemblers-such as Steiner, Kammer & Reinhardt, Cuno & Otto Dressel, Simon & Halbig, and by American artisans-including Emma Adams and Julia Beecher. Dolls of the Golden Age offers fascinating information on the origins of today's treasured antiques from yesterday's play dolls.
