The notable New England collector Lorna Lieberman assembled a collection of fine early 19th century dolls over a period of nearly 50 years, amassing a group that ranged from English wax and wood to German porcelain and papier-mâché to French bisque bébés and poupées. They will be auctioned by Theriaults, Maryland, on October 28 and 29.
Lieberman was particularly interested in dolls with trousseaux, and this German porcelain doll, above, is a fine example.
