Boards. Condition: Very good. [STIGMATIZING ILLUSTRATIONS] [RHYMING VERSE] [WOMAN AUTHOR] [WOMAN ILLUSTRATOR]. 8vo oblong (8 5/8" x 11"); 66pp; color pictorial boards, a Golliwog and two Dutch dolls in a go-cart on front; quarter-bound green cloth; color patterned endpapers with swans and sailing ships, lacking rear free endpape…r; color vignette of a Dutch doll on title page; 31 full-page color illustrations; text and line drawings in sepia; wear and light soiling to boards with loss at corners, spot on front board, last page has age-toning, lacking rear ep; very good minus. The story follows a Golliwogg and its Dutch doll companions as they go on an adventure in a go-cart. The Golliwogg character, a Black doll with wild hair, large white eyes, and bright red lips, was invented and popularized in Europe by the writings of Florence Kate Upton (1873-1922) and was based on the Black minstrel doll she owned in her youth. The Jim Crow Museum (Big Rapids, Michigan) classifies the character as a "caricature of a caricature." The Dutch dolls were penny-wooden dolls popular because of their jointed limbs and inexpensive prince. This book was part of a series of 13 Golliwogg stories popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and illustrated by Florence Upton and written by her mother, Bertha. Golliwoggs later appeared in stories by other authors and as dolls and other children's toys. Florence K. UPTON (illustrator).
