Скачать или смотреть The Beauty of Antique English Poured Wax Dolls

A short slideshow of antique English poured wax dolls hand-made by such esteemed makers as Pierotti, Montanari, and Meech from the Evans-Davies collection. The dolls featured date variously from between the 1850s and circa 1910 and are one of the jewels in the crown of Victorian doll-making in England. The poured wax baby (at 2 minutes 5 seconds into the video) is a late nineteenth century representation of the infant Jesus, a devotional figure made in France and commonly revered within churches and homes during that period. The piano accompaniment so generously shared and permitted for use here is the beautiful ‘Big My Secret’ by Michael Nyman. Thank you for watching!
