Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The impish face with big side glancing eyes beguiles many doll collectors and antiques aficionados. Anita Ladensack, the author, has researched an in-depth history of the Googly dolls but has also crafted a handsome book approaching 336 colour photographs. Marvel at the bevy of examples from the master European doll makers of googly-eyed dolls: Kestner, Gebruder and Ernst Heubach, Armand Marseille, Max Handwerck, Kammer and Reinhardt, Hertel and Schwab Hermann Steiner, Goebel, all-bisque and many more. Lesser-known examples of French, Italian and English-connected Googlies also appear in photographs. Although the eyes appear exaggerated, they do reflect those of a young child. If you love antique dolls you will need this book that lovingly chronicles the googly-eyed dolls.
