THE DOLL BY CARL FOX, PHOTOGRAPHS BY H. LANDSHOFF You are bidding on "THE DOLL" Magnificently produced hard back binding in publisher's original rich burgundy crushed velvet covers, gilt lettering to the spine and the upper panel, navy blue end papers. Folio. 11'' x 12'' 343 pp. 191 illustrations throughout including 70 in colour of which some are gatefolds. Free from inscription. Shows signs on use and age but in wonderful condition. No rips or tears, This extraordinary book reveals the many aspects of the doll through the superb photography of H. Landshoff, and the text and commentary of Carl Fox, former director of Museum shops for the Smithsonian Institution and the Brooklyn Museum, and a long-time collector himself. Both text and pictures capture the enchantment of these miniature 'people.' Almost two hundred full-page plates show dolls from many cultures and eras. In his free-flowing, informal introductory essay, Carl Fox ranges over the history and meaning of dolls around the world, and examines the collector's mania as well. Thus he captures the spirit of his subject, provides a wealth of historical and technical information, and gives the reader a revealing glimpse into the workings of one collector's mind. This is a book to delight child and adult, collector and historian, a glowing testiomony to the companions of childhood and the scope of human craftsmanship and imagination."

Embossed bright gilt gold lettering to the cover and spine, blue endsheets, 343 pp., 191 illustrations, including 70 in full color.
