The Parisienne poupée has the other typical body by this maker with the Rohmer stamp, articulated china arms and wooden legs. The poupée measures 18 inches. The War of 1870 was also a dramatic time for the families themselves, for the annexation of Alsace by Germany was very upsetting to the Alsatians living in Paris. They organized themselves in order to shelter the emigrants and provide them with the dignity they deserved given the sacrifices they would have to make to retain their French nationality. The two sisters worked together in their shared home, the two husbands continued to work in mechanics. In 1876, Auguste Reidemeister took over the Baumann Company, located at 33 rue Terrace, and continued to manufacture wheel horses and little wagons for children. The oval Rohmer body identification stamp is found on the torso. DOLL NEWS * ufdc.org 15http://ufdc.org
