Susan Whittaker, collector and curator of The Whittaker Collection.

I ntroduction To the celebrity friends that filled her sweeping Beverly Hills home she was gorgeous, glamorous and elegant. To her family, she was loving and generous and funny, endowed with a “perfectly wicked sense of humor”, says her nephew. And in the doll world she was known for choosing the best and the beautiful and, sometimes, the most whimsical of dolls. Which is why her collection ranged from the extraordinary beauty of five splendid early period A.T. bébés by Thuillier to the fanciful wittiness of the three sought-after Oscar Hitt googly dolls, and is highlighted by a very fine Albert Marque doll. This was Susan Whittaker, whose estate collection is presented in this book. The legendary collection was begun in the early 1970s and includes more than 400 fine antique dolls including an extraordinary array of the rarest of French bébés (H, AT, Bru, Jumeau, Schmitt and a fabulous Marque) and more than 100 exceptional early mignonettes, delightfully counterpointed by more than 50 googlies in the rarest models and sizes known to exist. Despite her enthusiastic attention to “anything doll”, Susan was in the choice of her own dolls very focused and fastidious. “She had an eye”, said one collector friend, “something you can’t define, but somehow she just always spotted the best of the best in a roomful of dolls, and that would be the one she chose.” She was born in San Jose, California, just months before the Pearl Harbor attack, her early childhood made secure by a loving family including her sister Gail who notes, “Susan loved dolls from the time she was a very young child. Her first love was her teddy bear Tim. She would dress her teddy bear and play with him for hours. Some new homes behind our family home were in the process of being built about 1945. Susan got some wood shavings that looked like curls and pinned the curls Susan and her sister Gail; curiously it is Gail holding the doll. to teddy’s head.”

The Whittaker home in Beverly Hills housed a veritable museum of fine dolls.

Collectors will relate to a further story from sister Gail. “When Susan was nine years old, she loved the Terri Lee Doll so her Grandmother took her shopping and bought her the doll. The doll had many accessories and outfits. Grandma asked Susan if she would like some of the outfits and Susan said ‘Oh Grandma! Thank you, the doll is enough!’ For years Susan was sorry she did not let Grandma buy her all the Terri Lee doll clothes.”

Moving to Los Angeles in the early 1960s, Susan met her future husband, beginning the fairy-tale portion of her life. As her nephew Byron relates, “As a child, I thought that everyone had an aunt and uncle with three huge houses in Beverly Hills, Palm Springs and Lake Arrowhead and a condo in Aspen.” To these homes, Susan brought her keen sense of beauty, and as the years ensued, her doll collection became the focus of her decoration, while her family remained the focus of her life. Her son Tyler relates, “When my siblings and I were old enough, mom would take turns bringing us to doll shows and auctions. She was a brilliant negotiator and had the beauty and charm to go along with it. It was very fascinating and at times hypnotizing to watch her work the room with her bigger-than-life personality, and her quick and colorful wit”. And he adds, “When I wasn’t watching her, I was hiding under the tables or running around the hallways at auctions with Luke Theriault. This was the late 1970s and we were both young boys then.” In this felicitous blend of love of family and eye for beauty, all of her family agrees. As nephew Byron relates, “her beauty was legendary, only surpassed by her ability to see and execute perfection, her keen sense of humor and most of all — love of family.”

“But the one most near and dear to my mother’s heart was a Valentine’s gift from my father in 1977. The Marque doll. It was her treasure and the pride of her collection.”

T he C ollection When viewing the collection, one might think at first that there are many duplicates, especially of googly dolls. And then one realizes, oh not so, as the method to her collecting becomes apparent. Sizes! She would try to find a particular model in every size, and what a fabulous “family” that made. Other variations were also important in her collecting, and her astute eye swept doll shows and auctions looking for what made a doll different. Thus, for example, she was one of the first collectors who noticed that blue wings only appeared on the largest, size 12, of the composition-bodied bisque Kewpies! Again, she recognized that the Oscar Hitt googly appeared in three variations, and she made it her mission to acquire all three. Costumes, too, were a primary focus for Susan Whittaker — perhaps tracing back to those Terri Lee clothes that she never had. That her dolls should be presented in the finest antique garb, couturier for the French bébés and whimsical for the characters, was, simply, an absolute requisite. As for her French dolls, her real love, every collector will agree that you can never have too many of the exquisite Bru, the gentle A.T. or the luxury Jumeau bébé. But a close look at the wonderful dolls in this collection reveals that even here, Susan Whittaker’s discerning eye was at play. For truly, each doll is different in its look, its expression and its style. And there is the Albert Marque Doll. Her son, Tyler, notes “Over the years, the collection grew. There were hundreds of dolls. But the one most near and dear to my mother’s heart was a Valentine’s gift from my father in 1977. The Marque doll. It was her treasure and the pride of her collection.”

She would try to find a particular model in every size, and what a fabulous “family” that made.

Throughout her collecting years, Susan Whittaker often expressed, sometimes realistically, sometimes wistfully, that she was but the keeper of the dolls for her time, and that, one day, the dolls would move forward to the welcoming homes of new keepers. Her son, Tyler, expresses it best.

Her collection will now be valued and treasured by those who hold the same passion and love for the world of dolls. This is her legacy.” –Tyler Whittaker, 2014.

porcelain firms, fashion designers and virtually the entire art community. Albert Marque, the noted French sculptor was thus commissioned to design a doll that reflected the actual expressions and moods of childhood, rather than the idealized dolls of the late 19th century. Even the body was uniquely designed for the doll by fellow artist, Aristodeme Botta, who aimed to create a child’s body for a doll that “combined the strength and grace typical of that age”. The artistic doll of Albert Marque was first presented at an exclusive exhibition at the fashion boutique of Parisian art patron, Margaine-Lacroix. It is believed that only 100 models of the Marque doll were created, most inscribed with their particular number in the series, this being #94, and many bearing a pencil inscription on the foot indicating the background of the doll’s costume, in this instance Lorraine. The doll is wearing a historical costume indicating the prominence of the Lorraine region during the Renaissance era of French history, and is an homage to Louise of Lorraine, the beloved Queen consort of Henry III. The supremely rare French art doll, whose rarity is rivaled by her most artistic and expressive features, unique construction of head and body, is wearing her original richly embroidered Renaissance-themed costume and cap, undergarments, and leather shoes impressed with figure of a doll. The doll has been in the collection of Susan Whittaker since 1977 when it was presented to her by her husband on Valentine’s Day. $160,000/190,000
