Comments: Leopold Lambert, circa 1890, the automaton appeared in the firm's catalog named "Bebe Russe", a popular theme at that time caused by the celebrated visit to Paris of the Russian Tsar and his family. Value Points: Beautiful and well preserved automaton with lavishly preserved original traditional Russian silk costume lavishly trimmed, superb "jeweled" headdress.
