Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Dolls' is an extensive and beautifully detailed exploration of the history and evolution of one of the world's most enduring objects. Written by the prolific author Esther Singleton, this work serves as a comprehensive guide for collectors, historians, and enthusiasts alike, tracing the de…velopment of the doll from its earliest ritualistic origins to its status as a beloved toy and sophisticated collectible.The work examines the artistic craftsmanship and cultural significance of dolls across various eras and regions. Singleton provides a meticulous look at the materials used in their creation-ranging from primitive wood and clay to delicate wax, bisque, and porcelain.
