Last January, my friend Edyth O'Neill and I started writing an article about Izannah Walker dolls for Early American Life magazine. I am happy to say it will be published in the Christmas issue coming out very soon. (you can read the article that was originally published in EAL here).

Withington's Auction August 19th

The piece of paper below was with the doll
when the consignor purchased it.
