INTRODUCTION

It should come as no surprise that when Barbara Kincaid retired from her librarian career, she retained her love of books. Which led her to the works of 19th century novelist, Jane Austen, and, indeed, it is the highly stylized early cover of one of those novels, Emma, which has inspired the cover of this catalog of Barbara’s doll collection. Yet, as with all inquisitive minds, one thing leads to another. Barbara’s love of dolls intertwined with Jane Austen, but also meandered into the world of Alice in Wonderland of which she not only owns wonderful dolls (one of which bears the amusing original tag declaring “Curiouser and curiouser... now they’ve made me into a doll”), but also kindled her fascination with toy bunnies ranging from early velvets to paper mache candy containers.

Lest readers assume her collection focused only on Alice and bunnies,

lend an eye to the extraordinary collection that lived on the shelves and crannies of every corner of her home and are presented in the May 21 auction. Standing next to Izannah Walker are elegant French bisque poupées. Little mignonettes nudge for their place next to their rare German art character cousins. Dolls with trousseaux and trunks were a favorite with Barbara, especially when accompanied by original provenance. American folk and cloth dolls, such as the rare Nina Albritton doll, find special place in the midst of all-original French bébés, protected by early Steiff Bully pups. There seems no lack of variety in this delightful collection, a reflection of the collector herself. Here is a small review of the hundreds of special dolls featured in this auction. x

Condition: generally excellent. Comments: Germany, circa 1860, the doll is wearing original costume of the “Pit Brow Lass” of England mining industry. An article written by Erica Tanner in February 2009 issue of Antique Doll Collector, described the profession and the costume. An 1842 English law forbade woman working below ground in the “pit” coal mines; hence they worked above ground at the edge (the “brow”) of the mine, sorting rock and dirt from the coals. For this they developed a unique “uniform”, which included sturdy trousers (unorthodox at that time) with twill patches at the knees for padding while kneeling to sort, beneath a skirt tucked up above the trousers, and sturdy black leather shoes cobbled with hobnails and rimmed with metal. So shocked were the gentry at this costume that laws were introduced to make the Pit Brow Lass work (and hence their costume) illegal. Marches to Parliament by women wearing the costume prevented the passage of the new law. Value Points: wonderful state of preservation of the rare doll with compelling expression and extremely rare costume. $1600/2200
