The Alice Florence Schott Collection of rare early dolls has not been long-lost, but rather lost-in-plain-sight. Bequeathed to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (of which Alice Schott was one of the founders) in the mid-1900s, the dolls have been carefully-preserved in the museum archives for decades. Highlighted by a superb all-original French bisque art doll by Albert Marque, with life-long provenance. 10” x 10”. Hardbound.180 pages.
