KIntroduction

aren Rockwell was a force in the world of antique doll collecting. Her family describes her as someone who commanded attention with her no-nonsense attitude, yet also made people feel deeply seen and heard. A lifelong California resident, Karen became a renowned expert, particularly focused on French poupées and early all-bisque dolls from France and Germany. She served in various leadership roles within the United Federation of Doll Clubs (UFDC), including President from 2009-2010, and received numerous awards for her contributions to the field.

Her collection, which includes dolls from iconic makers like Huret, Rohmer, Bru, and Kestner, showcases her exceptional taste and dedication. A key highlight is her beloved Miss Lily, a Rohmer poupée, which she shared at countless conventions. Other pieces include fine examples from Leontine Rohmer, as well as Izannah Walker cloth dolls, reflecting her diverse passion for dolls of all kinds.

Now, her legacy is celebrated in Day One of this single-owner auction, titled “Miss Lily and Friends,” featuring these rare and beautiful dolls. x

The One-Owner Collection of Dorothy Heizer Dolls

After writing her important work, The American Doll Artist, in 1965, Helen Bullard wrote an additional 1972 treatise about Dorothy Heizer, noting that the attention she had previously given to the artist “was all too brief”. Proclaiming Dorothy Heizer, the “recognized dean” of the professional artists who moved from traditional sculpture to the creation of dolls, she noted that each of the 367 dolls created by the artist from 1940-1961 was completely her work, from their intricate body construction (including the distinctive tilt of the neck) to the meticulous stitching of thousands of tiny beads. The dolls were acquired by important museums including the Smithsonian and became the focal point of private collections including the Wells Collection of Coudersport, Pennsylvania, the dolls of which are presented in this catalog. Mr. and Mr. Walter Wells assembled the dolls over a twenty-year period, at first, in 1943, from the famed New York City doll shop of Velvalee Dickenson and then, after the scandalous 1944 WWII espionage arrest of the doll shop owner, in direct contact with Dorothy Heizer. Along with the dolls, important correspondence with both Velvalee Dickinson and Dorothy Heizer are offered.

441. Miriam’s Childhood Dolls Along with Their Story

7” (18 cm.) -28”. Comprising thirteen bisque and porcelain dolls from various German and French makers from the early 1900s, along with an original framed sepia photograph of Miriam surrounded by part of her doll collection including some of the dolls included in this group. The dolls are in excellent condition. Here is their story, as accounted by Colin Reinhard whose family has preserved the collection and their story until this time. “My great grandmother, Cora Persons, was the youngest of three girls. As was customary in the 1870s and 1880s, the youngest often received the least. This included toys and games. When her only daughter, Miriam, was born in 1906, Cora lavished her with dolls of all kinds. Purchased from local businesses in Springfield, Massachusetts, Miriam’s collection grew in time. The picture shows Miriam with her collection, holding class. It’s no surprise that Miriam went on to attend the Teachers College of Columbia University and taught for many years in Massachusetts and New York. In 1945,

Miriam had a daughter of her own, Janice, who continued to bring life into the dolls at her childhood home on Long Island. I also have fond memories of pulling the dolls in a wagon around our house and teaching them to read. They continued to work their magic as I also became a teacher. As the collection finds a new home, we sincerely hope they will bring the buyer as much joy as they did to four generations of our family”.
