1915,possibly from the series of lady dolls in historic costumes
presented by Margaine-Lacroix during the exhibition featuring the
A. Marque artist dolls; this is suggested by the style and quality
of costuming and the known fact that SFBJ lady dolls were included
in that exhibition. Value Points: the doll has original unique wig
in the late 18th century style,and wears completely original
costume of bronze faille silk with richly embroidered tapestry
