SIMON & HALBIG DOLLS: THE ARTFUL ASPECT by Jan Foulke, Hobby House, Press, MD, 1984/1990. “This valuable reference book concerns itself with the beautiful doll heads produced by the Simon & Halbig porcelain factory in Grafenhain near Ohrdrul, Thuringen, Germany, from the 1880’s to the 1920’s. These beautiful, high quality doll heads are a close second choice to the heads made by the J.D. Kestner company, also of Germany. Such well-known names in the German and French doll industry as Kammer & Reinhardt, C.M. Bergmann, Heinrich Handwerck, Jumeau and Roullet & Decamps purchased doll heads from Simon & Halbig and attached them to their own bodies. Simon & Halbig was known for the excellent sculpting of their doll heads, and the high quality of the bisque (porcelain). Among collectors, a Simon & Halbig head, regardless of the maker of the body, makes that doll a Simon & Halbig creation. Consequently, the doll heads illustrated in this book on another doll maker’s bodies could all come under the designation “Simon & Halbig.” ”The author’s extensive research, as well as the 539 black and white and 26 color illustrations make this an invaluable reference work for the serious collector. Included here are chapters on their well-known dolly faces, character dolls, all-bisques, toddlers, and lady dolls. Studying the extensive selection of faces and memorizing the mold numbers will enable a collector to identify Simon & Halbig doll from a distance. All this and more makes this compilation of mold numbers, dates and marks the most complete and up-to-date reference book available to collectors on Simon and Halbig doll heads.” 8.5“ x 10.5“ hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 236 pages.FREE media mail shipping and handling for deliveries within the 50 United States.
