The rare 1897 "Verdier & Gutmacher" laminated
cloth doll, has a socket head with plump facial
modeling, reminiscent of Gaultier molds. Her
original fine mohair wig is styled in an 'upsweep' in
the latest "lady" fashion of the 1890's, indicating this
doll is a lady and not a child. Marked incised in the
back of the neck: "VI (for size 6)," V G, Bté SGDG,"
with a height of 46 cm. Private collection, France.
