Fox Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 This came up on the 18thC list and I couldn't help posting it here. This is a doll dating 1690-1700. It's not a child's toy, but a delicate doll made for adults to admire. The construction of the clothing is reproduced exactly from full size versions.

Capt. Sterling Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 This is a doll dating 1690-1700. It's not a child's toy, but a delicate doll made for adults to admire. The construction of the clothing is reproduced exactly from full size versions. This doll and a number of 17th century/18th century items can be viewed online Via the V & A museum archive link.... you sign up and you get access to what ever items they have that have been photographed... granted maybe not the biggest selection but it helps steer one in the right direction. Since this doll is supposed to represent Lord Clapham (sp) I believe, there is one for Lady as well, I would hesitate to call it a fashion baby. But there were dolls, referred to as fashion babies, that were dressed in the current fashion to show buyers what they would be getting. Fashion babies were a tailors/merchants tool, not intended for children's toys.

Capt. Sterling Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 There are also photos of the doll stripped down to his waistcoat if anyone is interested. I could post them as well if someone would tell me how to do so on this list... seems whenever I try, nothing takes...
