Table of Contents
The impish face with big side glancing eyes beguiles many doll collectors and antiques aficionados.
Author Anita Ladensack has researched an in depth history of the Googly dolls crafting a handsome book with nearly 324 color photographs. Marvel at the bevy of examples from the master European doll makers of antique googly-eyed dolls:
- Kestner,
- Gebruder and Ernst Heubach,
- Armand Marseille,
- Max Handwerck,
- Kammer & Reinhardt,
- Hertel & Schwab Hermann Steiner,
- Goebel,
- all-bisque and many more!
Lesser-known examples of French, Italian and English-connected Googlies also appear in photographs. The exaggerated eyes were meant to reflect the wide-eyed wonderment of a child.
If you love antique dolls you will need this book that lovingly chronicles the googly-eyed dolls.
