NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Among porcelain antique dolls, whimsical Kewpies, Barbie dolls as well as paper dolls,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cloth dolls in the picture of African-Americans drew special attention among a lot more than 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],200 collectors in New Orleans for that annual convention of the United Federation of Doll Clubs.
The oldest from the black dolls on display was sewn about 1850, said curator Joyce Stamps of Framingham,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mass., who put together the exhibit in the federation request.
Because cloth is fragile, most surviving black cloth dolls date from about 1870 - during Reconstruction - and on. But records indicate hundreds were sold at bazaars before the Civil War to boost money for that abolitionist newspaper The Liberator, textile historian Roben Campbell said.
Interest in black cloth dolls in the Victorian times and early Twentieth century is continuing to grow in the past decade, she said.
That because of a 2007 exhibit of dolls made from 1870 to 1930, from the personal assortment of antiques dealer Pat Hatch of Harvard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mass., Stamps said. Campbell curated that exhibit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Stamps said she along with other members of the Black /Gold Doll Club of New England helped with it.
was kind of the jumping-off point, she said.
Stamps exhibit in the convention ranged from antiques to contemporary dolls owned by Hatch, herself, and a half-dozen other collectors.
Some were topsy-turvy dolls dating in the turn of the last century. She said Hatch had collected about 150 by 2005,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and purchasers of the earlier dolls are actually more prevalent.
Black cloth dolls in the 1870s to 1890s may bring from hundreds to thousands of dollars,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with the deciding factor being whether several people want exactly the same doll, said Stuart Holbrook, president of Theriault Antique Doll Auctions of Annapolis, Md. The ah took in $2.5 million at a set of auctions in New Orleans - $1.2 million for all 900 items from a toy museum in Davos,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Switzerland, last Sunday, and $1.3 million for about 300 antique dolls auctioned Monday.
which seems wonderful may bring $300,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and one which seems just as wonderful brings $3,000 for no rhyme or reason, he said.
For comparison,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a brown-skinned bisque doll made in France about 1890 and elaborately costumed as an opera character sold for around $42,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 in New Orleans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he explained.
The doll from about 1850 in Stamps display is fashioned like a boy. Clothes sewn as part of the body incorporate a pair of knee-length pants. In those days, only a few brave women wore pants, and those bloomers were baggy, ankle-length and widely ridiculed.
Campbell said black cloth dolls differ from typical rag dolls in several ways. Most were made of new cloth, and also the earliest ones tended to be firmly stuffed rather than floppy. Those produced from about 1870-1890 tended to be more elegantly dressed and sturdy compared to early 20th-century dolls, which were often more and huggable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she said.
Informative quilts, banners and five dolls shown in New Orleans originated from the National Black Doll Museum, privately run by Debra Britt and her two sisters in Mansfield, Mass. The museum - one of two devoted to black dolls - owns about 5,000 and has 2,000 on display, Britt said.
Barbara Whiteman, who opened the Philadelphia Doll Museum in 1988, has stated that before 1950, most dolls manufactured for black children had exaggerated, stereotypical features, or were white-featured dolls tinted brown. Mass-produced dolls with more realistic images of African-American children weren made before 1950s.
Britt said the oldest dolls in her museum have no features at all and aren easily acknowledged as dolls. They are dolls passed down in her family making by enslaved children, possibly in the early 1700s. These were made of gourds and vines, and wrapped with cloth and twigs.
