Foreword to The Vanity Fair Call them little vanities, whimsies, biblelots, ladies of the dressing table, ladies of the sewing room, these precious little figures modeled as “half dolls” and even, sometimes, full dolls, were particular to the early 20th century. Certainly some had been created before, but that was a novelty. What happened in the first quarter of the 1900s was different. It was a phenomena that was peculiar to its time, when sewing was still a skill of every woman, yet where a burgeoning middle class made the possibility of owning little luxuries a likelihood for most, and where industrialization of the porcelain factories made volume production an option. The result was an extraordinary outpouring of the imagination created in a luxury quality that seems impossible to achieve today. Hearkenings back to the romantic 18th century stood side-by-side with the popular culture figures of early 1900s. This book is a photographic tribute to them all. x

The dolls in this book that are identified as “Property of the Strong Museum” are being sold to benefit the museum’s collections fund.

This book takes its title from the town of Vanity in Pilgrim’s Progress. There was a never-ending fair in the town – hence, of course, The Vanity Fair – that offered all that was frivolous and fancy for the ladies of the village.
