Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascination with miniature objects continues to grow. One of the most popular forms of "life in miniature" throughout the ages has been the doll's house, which appeals to a great variety of people, including architects, collectors, children, historians, and antiquarians. A doll's house is a miniature representation of its place and time, and this fascinating account of dolls' houses and miniature furnishings covers four centuries and many countries: Holland, Germany, France, England, the United States. Additional information on examples of Scandinavian, Italian, Swiss, and Japanese houses is provided. World famous dolls' houses described at length include Queen Mary's doll house, complete in every detail down to miniature bottles of real champagne in the wine cellar; Colleen Moore's spectacular castle with its diamond chandelier and gold (monogrammed!) forks and knives; Titania's Palace which has been called "a museum-in-little of Italian art"; the Stettheimer doll house with its unique art gallery of miniature originals by famous modern artists. - Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes how doll houses are more than just objects of play. This paper will study twentieth-century dollhouses and the symbolic meaning of the gendered homes they were made to represent. This thesis is centered on the object of the dollhouse itself and what (or who) is represented by it or in it. The doll house was normalized into the "ideal" American home and constructed by manufacturers and collectors to define gender roles. This paper will give a brief history of the origin of the doll house to help explain how and why these objects represent more than just toys of play. This paper will dissect the ways in which dollhouses are more than just miniature objects; they also demonstrate how young boys and girls were taught societal expectations and roles from adults who controlled the play. The cultural context of this paper will also analyze twentieth-century homes and their association to doll houses. As such, each structure and decoration within a twentieth-century home has a correlation to dollhouses and carries similar domestic responsibilities and emotional baggage. By studying different feminist theories, dollhouses can further be examined as symbolic meanings of gender and domesticity. Nonetheless, the ideal American home translates to the miniature twentieth-century dollhouse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Star-Spangled Banner flag to Dorothy's Ruby Slippers, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History is home to some fascinating objects. In fact, one of the most fascinating of these, and one of the most popular, is itself a home. On the museum's third floor sits a five-story dollhouse donated to the museum by Faith Bradford, a Washington D.C. librarian, who spent more than a half-century accumulating and constructing the 1,354 miniatures that fill its 23 intricately detailed rooms. When Bradford donated them to the museum in 1951, she wrote a lengthy manuscript describing the lives of its residents: Mr. and Mrs. Peter Doll and their ten children, two visiting grandparents, twenty pets, and household staff. Bradford cataloged the Dolls' tastes, habits, and preferences in neatly typed household inventories, which she then bound, along with photographs and fabric samples, in a scrapbook. She even sent museum curators holiday cards written by the Dolls. In America's Doll House, Smithsonian Institution curator William L. Bird, Jr. weaves this visual material and back-story into the rich tapestry of Faith Bradford's miniature world. Featuring vibrant photography that brings every narrative detail to life, America's Doll House is both an incisive portrait of a sentimental pastime and a celebration of Bradford's remarkable and painstaking accomplishment.
