doll talk: 'foreign folk dolls'

i'm always looking for vintage doll books, doll magazines and such...since i make dolls myself. i picked this one up because i found it so interesting to see the traditional style dolls from areas around the world, and the materials they are made of. when perusing used book stores and such, these little pamphlets can sometimes hold hidden gems on the topic of whatever catches your fancy at the moment...so i never discredit their value.

lenci commemorative postcard book

in the late '70s and early '80s lenci reproduced some of their dolls...this is a commemorative postcard book (or catalog of sorts) of the reproduction dolls. there are 36 postcards in all. the back also has a reproduction certificate of authenticity. apparently these dolls were faithfully reproduced using the same 1920s methods, similar materials, and exact molds and patterns.
