LEO MOSS DOLLS The Legacy of Leo Moss, His History, His Dolls In 1910, 90% of the black population of America still lived in the Southern states. Among these were members of the Moss family of Macon, Georgia, including a certain Leo Moss – handyman, carpenter, family man – and doll artist. The story of this man and his remarkable dolls is one of the most intriguing in our world of doll research.

About Leo Moss Much of the history of the man is anecdotal. Oral family history and a handwritten reminiscence about one particular doll provide the few clues that we have today about the personal and artistic history of the man. The note was written by the original owner of one of the white-complexioned dolls made by

Leo Moss in 1909, and from this we learn certain facts. Leo Moss evidently worked for the family of this young girl at various handyman chores, along with his wife who was employed as a seamstress for the family. He was described in the note as “a gentle man with so much love and patience”. Too, it appears that he was a devoted family man, the father of five children. Yet, his marriage to the mother of these children seems to have perished as a continued reading of the note indicates. The writer said, “the wigs were made from our own hair. Mrs. Moss made the wigs and dressed them in clothes of exact copy she had made us girls for Christmas. She did all of our sewing and worked very hard to please my mother. Mother was very fond of her.” And then,

cryptically, the note adds “Mrs. Moss never knew how we missed her” which is likely hinting at the oral history which holds that about 1910 Mrs. Moss ran away with a New York doll supplier who visited Macon toy stores several times each year, and as a by-product had sold distressed doll parts to Leo Moss to use in the making of his dolls. Other information about Leo Moss appeared in the Fall, 1987 issue of Doll News in an article written by Steva Roark Allgood, “To Leo Moss with Love” in which the author noted that “Leo Moss was a handyman by trade”, and that he bartered his skills (and later, perhaps, his dolls) “for chickens and vegetables to feed

Comments: Leo Moss, this is one of three dolls made for the daughters of a Macon family for whom Leo Moss performed odd jobs.

And according to an original letter written by the middle daughter, Mary [Kane} in 1972, “Each of our dolls were of our own likeness...The wigs were made from our own hair. Mrs. Moss made the wigs and dressed them in clothes of exact copy she had made us girls for Christmas”. The letter goes on to describe more details of Leo Moss dolls and the manner in which he worked to capture the likeness of each child.

The story of Leo Moss is continued from page 18 his family”. This everyday life also served as source for much of his dollmaking supplies, according to Allgood; “the dolls were made from paper scraped from walls, boiled and made into a paste…and colored with a spray gun used for killing flies. Boot dye and stove blacking were used as the base color”. Although the whitecomplexioned doll, cited in the handwritten note, was made in the early 1900s, most of the Leo Moss dolls appear to have been made in the 1920s and 1930s, as indicated by the dates which appear on some dolls. According to his oldest daughter, Ruby, as related in the Steva Allgood article, Leo Moss died in 1936, penniless and buried in a pauper’s grave somewhere in Illinois. He had set out with his brother-in-law on a quest to find his wife, and died while on that voyage. Ruby Moss continued to live in Macon, Georgia, preserving the remaining dolls, and, continuing her father’s penchant for old treasures and found objects, she became known in town as the “lady with some antiques for sale”. In 1971, then in her 83rd year, Ruby Moss was visited by Betty Formaz of Michigan who was vacationing with her husband in the area and on the search for antiques –

yes, antiques, not dolls. A local resident suggested they visit Ruby Moss, where among other antiques, they saw a wonderland of dozens of extraordinary paper mache dolls portraying black children in various moods. Ruby Moss, seeing their interest, said firmly, “The

won numerous awards, and have been the highlights of important museum exhibitions, including the Detroit Historical Museum in 1974, The Museum of Arts and Sciences in Macon, The Mingei International Museum of San Diego in 1974, and the Charles D. Wright Museum of African American History in 2016/2017.

About the Dolls

dolls are not for sale. They are members of our family.” Yet over the years, Betty was able to purchase 39 of the Leo Moss dolls, first from Ruby Moss and later from her daughter, Helen. Betty generously presented the dolls to members of her Detroit doll club and many were purchased, including “Mina”, which was then entered into the 24th UFDC annual competition in 1973, winning a blue ribbon. “Mina” was the first Leo Moss doll to be entered in that illustrious competition. Since that time the Leo Moss dolls have

Curiously, although each of the Leo Moss dolls is different – different in expression, size, hair style, and detail of sculpted features – there is family resemblance in their style and construction which makes them instantly recognizable. The heads are hand-sculpted paper mache over armature base, and most have glass eyes (likely acquired from the afore-mentioned New York toy supplier). Some are with closed mouths either smiling or wistful, several have well-defined teeth, and one delightfully licks his lips. Bodies vary, some handmade (the early models by Lee Ann Moss, his wife, according to family oral history), some as restored manufactured doll bodies, and some a combination of the two. A remarkable discovery concerning the construction of the Leo Moss doll was made by Steve Ellenberg in preparation for their 2015 exhibition at the Mingei International Museum in San Diego.

Steve Ellenberg received a grant to x-ray and cat scan the Leo Moss dolls. Photos of the cat scan of a dear little Leo Moss doll can be seen on the website www.aperturephotoarts.com/leo-moss. Reviewing the internal structure of the doll as shown in the cat scan, Ellenberg learned an astonishing fact: Leo Moss had not only used the distressed doll bodies made available to him by the traveling toy salesman, but he also had access to the heads. These heads, likely with flaws or damage, could serve his purposes as tools, providing a basic armature form upon which he could sculpt his amazing portraits with thickly-applied textured paper mache, adding hair and creating unique facial expressions. The heads appear to be early composition mama dolls as shown in the cat scans, and yet another finding in that cat scan, grist for future research indeed, was that one of the heads still faintly revealed the Effanbee signature which was now thickly covered by the textured paper mache and the initials L.M.

sitting and began to cry. Mr. Moss tried to get the child to stop crying without success. Finally he said if that’s how you want to look, that’s how I’ll make your doll. The family was amused with the resulting crying doll. Afterward, whenever a child cried when

Mr. Moss was making a portrait doll, the doll then also had tears.”

Conclusion The dolls of Leo Moss shown on these pages are from the private collection of Myla Perkins as described and portrayed in her landmark book, Black Dolls. Early on, she recognized the artistic and historical value of the Leo Moss dolls. In her intelligent blog (dollsinblack.blogspot. com), current scholar Debbie Behan Garrett expresses the sentiment perfectly. “Through his gifted hands, the collecting community inherited black dolls handcrafted in America decades before most doll makers began creating respectful representations of black people. Through the eyes of Leo Moss, three-dimensional, one-of-a-kind, historically significant, ethnically correct, invaluable, Americanmade works of doll art remain. Through his vision exists black dolls with perfectly proportioned eyes, noses, and mouths, dolls with thick textured hair that adequately reflect the children and adults who inspired their creation.”

Especially notable to collectors are the dolls with “tears”, of which two possible legends exist as to the background. The first regards the run-away wife of Leo Moss; it was said that such sadness overwhelmed him when she left, that, thereafter, he placed a tear or two on the face of each child doll that he made. The second theory, not nearly as romantic yet wonderfully true to human nature, seems more likely. In the chapter on Leo Moss dolls, in her book, Black Dolls, Myla Perkins wrote: “According to his daughter, Ruby, when he was making the doll face of one of the toddlers in the family, the child became impatient while

As the 1900s moved along, much of the black population of America migrated to northern and western states, leaving their southern roots behind. Although we have no records of the Moss family making such a move, in a sense they did, through the masterworks of their patriarch Leo Moss. His dolls have continued to migrate, shift and resettle throughout America in museum exhibitions, at doll conventions where they often won blue ribbon awards, and into fine private collections. In that sense, the dolls not only reflect the artistry of Leo Moss, but also an important page of American black history. x
