An Introduction

Rosalie Whyel spent her collecting years in the advocacy of the doll as an art form, indeed, even naming her justly celebrated museum in Bellevue, Washington as The Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art. It was not simply a museum of dolls, but, boldly, a Museum of Doll Art. Through her leadership, many collectors came to realize that the sculpture and design of a doll was an art form as surely as more traditionally named objects such as bronze sculptures or portrait paintings. For this, it is not possible to praise her enough.

Yet, there is more. Because Rosalie Whyel also saw the doll as history. A study of the dolls in her museum collection underscores this over and over again. The personal story of each doll, why it was created, what was its inspiration, who owned it and cared for it, its chronological connection with other similar dolls, its uniqueness and why, was an important element in each doll’s presentation. The history of each doll was as important to her as the physical object itself. In this catalog,

Volume II of Rosalie, My Life of Dolls, these dual purposes of the doll as art and the doll as history is explored, continuing the vision as presented in Volume I of the collection. The collection ranges from extremely rare French bébés and poupées, to the early wooden dolls of England and Europe, to the esoteric to the dolls of mystery background whose history is yet to be uncovered. The artwork of German dolls of the early 1900s continues to be explored and the presentation of her dolls leads the collector through the myriad historical phases of the 20th century, including the studio art dolls of children created by Lilli Baitz to the development of the celebrity doll industry. The history of dolls as seen through the vision of this zealous and curious collector was presented first at the Museum she built and nurtured and now, fittingly at her request, is returned to the hands of other knowing and caring collectors.

This catalog is the second volume of dolls from the museum. x

A Note from the Family of Rosalie

When it was suggested that the auction simply be named Rosalie, I thought yes. That says it all.

As her beautiful name suggests, she was a classic. The best mom. Just as you imagine. She made us great food, sewed clothes and warm parkas for us, she was soft-spoken, but firm. Every day was an adventure exploring outside or creating inside. We awoke each day to “It’s a Beautiful, Bright, Sunshiny Day!”. A healthy dose of wit, sarcasm, and spark with a wicked sense of humor, our Mom was an equal opportunist, no one was spared. We often appeared with mustaches, drawn or crafted, long before it was trendy. We learned to laugh at ourselves, together. She put family and faith first and always told us to “go for it”. We were loved deeply.

Rosalie loved dolls from day one. Early Christmas photos from when she was just a baby, show dolls placed lovingly around the tree. One Christmas year when she was six, her beloved Sparkle Plenty received a black and white fur coat! Sadly, that same winter, in an odd twist of fate, her fur Panda Bear had gone missing… Grandma was an excellent seamstress. She was the youngest in a remote mining

camp in Alaska and when children outgrew their dolls, or their parents thought they should, Rosalie was the lucky benefactor! To her great delight, her parents constructed a rustic playhouse from unused materials which she lined with dolls and bears. When they moved to the big town of Fairbanks, a built-in display cabinet was custom made to showcase her Special Dolls. She was a growing collector…little did they know.

She began slowly, with her first antique being discovered in a shop in Juneau at the age of 21. It took her a week to decide to spend the lavish $20 to take the AM 390 home (and almost 50 years to find the perfect dress for her). Her momentum began to grow, as did her interest in the unusual and rare. Nearly everything was purchased from auctions far away from Alaska. Beautiful dolls shared cabinet space with Alaskan Native art, paintings, and the creations of all us kids. We noticed as we moved out, that our bedrooms became Doll Rooms. Upon a difficult decision to leave our beloved home state it was proposed, by doll club members and others, that her collection was sophisticated enough that Rosalie should consider opening a museum. Laughingly she mentioned this

to husband George and surprisingly he agreed, saying it would keep her busy.

She was well suited for this as she had traveled her entire life and when she did, she always found a museum. In every town. We prayed there was a cafe at the end because it would undoubtedly take her 10 times as long as us to finish. She read every label. Looked at every exhibit. Who knew if we’d ever be back this way again? So, when it came time to design The Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art, she knew just what she wanted. And didn’t want. First and foremost, she wanted collectors to know, the world to know, how important dolls were. She described them as “the history of everything”. Often remarking that there wasn’t a subject in the world she couldn’t explore and share through an exhibit of dolls. What excited her even more? It was seen through the eyes of children. This would not be a line of dolls in a case. She wanted to depict each doll and toy as it had lived its life, in a playful manner. Each doll had been important to someone, enough for them, and their subsequent owners, to take such great care she wanted to honor that with the same love and respect. In her unassuming way, she made the Museum exquisite,

refined, educational, and world-class. That was her way. Rosalie did everything with an educated eye and elegance.

Collecting dolls was perfect for Rosalie, as it intersected two of her favorite things-history and art. The Museum enabled her to expand that love and design a story of the craftsmanship of doll makers and reflect the history of the world. So, she loved it when a doll came with its own story, and the fascination expanded as the unfolding of the secret life of that object began. It all sounded like some archeological trek! Already a lover of people, the Museum opened a door for her to ask about the dolls you’d found and the dolls that found you. Rosalie loved sharing all those stories, remembering them. She loved to tell stories, she wanted to hear your story.

Genuinely wanting to know peoplewhere did you come from, your family, your childhood - the struggles and the joy. So, the Museum gave her a new experience with people, the dolls brought them there, and this kindred spirit had a heart big enough for everyone, any age, any walk of life - she gave you her full attention, she made you feel special. She was a giver of her time, her talents, her money.

Now it seems only fitting, as it was her wish, that all these special objects continue their journey. “The Dolls will go on after us, we’re just their caretakers…” she would often say. We, as a family, are helping to fulfill her aspirations, desire, and legacy by continuing to share these wonderful items with you, their new caretakers. We hope

you had a chance to visit the Museum, watch the Museum Documentary, read her books and many articles, view the exhibits she launched, or spent time with our mom and experienced just some of this and rekindled fond memories. If not, being here today she would have valued you, thanked you, and been excited to pass these precious pieces of history, these treasures, on to you. To your capable hands, to be the next storyteller and conservator. We hope you see the love she poured into not just collecting or sharing, or even these wonderful dolls, but all she encountered. She loved dolls, children, people, life. She loved.

Love, The Family of Rosalie

See the following two pages for provenance and additional photographs of Blondine.

Provenance

Blondine and her trousseau originated from the French estate of the Convert Family of Oyonnax in the Jura Mountains. Beginning about 1860 the Convert name became important in the production of beautiful hair combs from the newly invented material of celluloid. Although wooden decorative combs had been produced in the town for more than a century from the plentiful nearby forest woods, this new material allowed a level of abundance that had not existed before. The Convert family thrived and enjoyed the fruits of their prosperity for themselves and for their daughter. Meanwhile, introduced in Paris at the time was the new doll phenomenon known as “bébé”. Its originator was Jules Steiner to whom the Converts felt an affinity as he had been born in Dijon, not very far from their own home town. So, on a faraway trip to Paris, some 500 kms from Oyonnax, the Convert family chose a Bébé Steiner as a gift for their daughter and on subsequent trips to prestigious Parisian doll shops they added a trousseau for the doll that was notable in the luxury of its fabrics and couturier design. The doll was named Blondine, its still-faint name handwritten on the box in which has been stored for more than 135 years. The name of the daughter is not known nor is the reason why the doll and its trousseau remained unplayed with, still preserved today in unimaginably pristine condition. The doll, from its original French estate was acquired by Rosalie from a 2004 Theriault’s auction, and has remained a prize of her Museum and collection for two decades.

The Lilli Baitz Portrait Dolls

The dolls were modeled and created under the auspices of Lilli Baitz, the Austrian doll artist, who, in 1909, with her husband Roman Baitz, founded the Berlin arts and craft studio “Lilli”.AfterWWI an adjunct studio was established in Salzburg,Austria which worked in close collaboration with the SalzburgWerkstatte that assembled and costumed the dolls from the Baitz designs. She expressed her costume designs in this way: “I shake my fairytale tree and let clothes fall like the sun, moon and stars”.

The dolls were created from about 1928-1932, remaining in the Salzburg Werkstatte, until they were discovered soon after by the American art dealer, J.H. Hoffheimer, who was touring Europe at the time. He acquired this complete collection of Lilli Baitz dolls, modeled to portray notable theatrical and early film stars of the era, and costumed to symbolize their celebrated persona. Bringing the entire collection to America, he created a remarkable exhibition which toured the United States for several years

Next enter EthelTraphagen, the renegade fashion designer and founder of the NewYorkTraphagen School of Fashion. She, too, had traveled the world from Europe to Africa to Asia, in search of fresh costume and fabric designs, and, seeing the research importance of the Baitz collection, acquired it in one swoop from Mr Hoffheimer, installing it in her school’s museum archives where it remained from 1937 until 1990.

A preservation nod next goes to Phyllis Spencer, who had been the museum curator. Learning that the museum was about to be sold in order to fund the struggling school, she determined to preserve the Baitz dolls and purchased intact the entire Baitz collection. It remained carefully preserved, each doll in its custom leather case, in her small NewYork apartment for the next decade, until its acquisition by theWhyel Museum of Doll Art.

There the collection rested until now.The dolls, now in their 90th year, have “lived” remarkable lives, born of the German art secessionist movement, flourishing in the boom-boom years of the 1920s, victims of Depression Era struggles, touring art and fashion circles of America, and showcased in museums at different times of their lives As testaments to the celebrated women who gained fame in the world of theatre, as works of art by a noted German artist, and as examples of exemplary fashion design, these truly one-of-a-kind works are most worthy.
