In the afternoon my husband took the kids while I spent hours visiting in the antique doll collection area. Taking pictures through glass is definitely a challenge. I experimented and by the end was able to come up with some techniques to help get rid of the glare. Digital cameras are such a wonderful invention - you can see what's working right then! Patricia Hogan, one of the curators at the Strong National Museum of Play, graciously took some time to answer a few of my questions about the dolls. She had arranged to have a couple of the Izannah dolls brought out of storage and shown au naturel so that I could try to get construction details. The Strong Museum has graciously allowed me to post some pictures of the Izannah Walker dolls here. So keep checking in the coming weeks - after I edit the pictures I'll be posting some here.
