Her trousseau includes several other beautifully detailed costumes and a parasol. These articulations were at first quite simple; I would even say they were identical to the principle registered in Miss Huret's 1850 patent. They grew more complex with each registered change, improving as Miss Rohmer ran into difficulties. This way of doing business reflects a certain professional immaturity. Her principle concern lay with the desire to have a natural articulation for the arms and legs. This was prepared with tin boxes which enclosed the joints and which were held in place with iron or wooden pins, whether inside the body or on the outside. The doll was covered with a lambskin, intended to hide these articulations. DOLL NeWS * ufDc.Org 21http://ufdc.org
