During my trip to England this past summer I happened upon a doll that I think
dates to the late 17th, early 18th century, based upon the style of doll that
it is. The doll was in a museum that didn't have a date on the doll and of
course I was deep in a whole other project at the time and didn't ask if there
was more information. So now that I need to get a better date if possible, I
was hoping I could use the doll's clothing as a guide.
She wears panniers- the huge at the side kind of bustle thing-it's not my
period at all, so excuse me if I have that wrong.
Can anyone give me beginning and end dates of when this style was worn in
England? The doll itself is housed in Norwich, in a museum that could be
using toys from the families that have lived in this house since the 14th
century, but I don't know if this doll was a gift to the museum or not.
any help give is much appreaciated.
