From the Back Cover

Many of the most popular dolls created during the fascinating era of the golden 1920s and the sober 1930s are pictured and identified for the first time in this multi-purpose book on cloth dolls.

The cloth dolls of the Art Deco period were flashy, expensive mirrors of the society which created them. Made in a period of affluence when art and quality were important, the 1920s dolls reflected a dashing and disturbing world. The economic crash changed people's lives and their dolls; the 1930s dolls became less extravagant. A wealth of information on companies such as Lenci, Norah Wellings and Chad Valley is included along with the dolls' 1990 values.
