Isn't she just incredible? The detail is so exquisite.
English Doll 1755-1760 via V&A Collection
"Pandoras were used from the 14th century to convey the latest
fashion among courts of Europe.... by the end of the 18th century
the pandoras had given way in importance to fashion magazines.
The figures were not designed as toys, but, after (fulfilling) their
original purpose they may been given to children to play with."
-words from the V&A Collection website
I love the patina of these beautiful old dolls and doll houses.
