The doll, along with her trousseau and accessories was acquired by nine-year-old Miss Annie Kelley of Boston at the charity Sanitary Commission Fair held in the Old Music Hall in Boston, Massachusetts in December 1863. The Fairs, sponsored by the newly-founded U.S. Sanitary Commission (forerunner of the Red Cross) were held in cities such as Chicago, New York, Manhattan, Philadelphia and Boston 14

during this time period with the purpose of raising funds to support wounded Civil War soldiers and their families. A popular highlight of the Fairs was the presentation and sale of a doll with her trousseaux sewn by noted local couturiers. In a very few instances, the continuing life story of the doll has been documented. Miss Annie Kelley’s doll is one example. According to a report in the Boston Journal of the time, fifteen dolls were sold at that Fair including one with a trousseau which is likely this very doll. It is known that Miss Annie Kelley treasured the doll until her 1947 death in her 93rd year, then passing into the hands of early collectors Ruth Walker and Zelda Cushner, and thence to Lorna Lieberman. The doll has been beautifully preserved, albeit along the way several of her originally listed costumes have disappeared including the gown in which she was photographed on the cover of the 1964 Doll Collector’s Guild (included with the doll).
