I am a collection of antique photography. One of my favorite groups is Children with toys and dolls. I recently acquired an ambrotype (photo on glass) of a young lady holding a doll that looks like a Izannah Walker doll. It can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirrorimagegallery/5948490660/in/photostreamMirror Image Galleryhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/mirrorimagegallery/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739972342759073534.post-16038127140084013572008-09-22T15:56:00.000-07:002008-09-22T15:56:00.000-07:00I really hope I can go to this auction!Dixie Redmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18290571323764327616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739972342759073534.post-66141070403037224042008-09-15T15:21:00.000-07:002008-09-15T15:21:00.000-07:00Such a wonderful doll and the story of her life is intriguing as well.<BR/>Do you not think that the cut of her brown frock is very similar to the one I have that you admired!<BR/>Did you get to the Strong museum this past summer to see the Izannahs there?<BR/>SusanMiss Maddie'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14525642217533620081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739972342759073534.post-58483549824515187662008-09-12T16:10:00.000-07:002008-09-12T16:10:00.000-07:00Hello Dixie,<BR/>Thanks for the supportive comments you left on my blog - much appreciated. I will keep posting step-by-step pictures as I make the doll. I have a picturetrail (www.picturetrail.com/susiedolls) with a step-by-step tutorial already posted, if you want a peek at that. Looks like I will be doing a teaching tour to the USA in about April/May next year......<BR/><BR/>Would you mind if I put a link to this blog on mine? Thought I should ask first.<BR/>Regards, SusieSusie McMahonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14478914042524948807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739972342759073534.post-74537679202679957592008-09-09T06:30:00.000-07:002008-09-09T06:30:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing this info and photos. I was at Wenham last week looking at the Izannah and the Columbian dolls, Chase dolls, etc. in their collection. Once again I was dazzled. Lucky collector who wins this doll and trousseau that you have posted.

I have always loved these wonderful dolls, but living in Australia, I have never seen one in real life.<BR/><BR/>Along with Kathe Kruse, and Sasha Morgenthaler, I count Izannah Walker as one of the major influences in my own dollmaking.<BR/><BR/>Susie McMahonSusie McMahonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14478914042524948807noreply@blogger.com
