Dolls have always been a part of humankind, found in Egyptian excavations, and in Greek and Roman children's graves.
Dolls and history go hand in hand, so is my intention with this blog to convey my passion for the dolls of the Renaissance, and the 19th and early 20th century. By borrowing from the work of the masters and archival photographs, I will be able to link them to the history of the times and briefly touch on the primitives.
Welcome to my blog, and stay awhile.

Christ Blessing the Children ca;1540
In several versions of Christ Blessing the Children by Lucas Cranach the Elder or his followers, a small girl in the foreground carries a simple wooden peg doll.
