The Sasha doll was originally made
in the 1940’s by Swiss artist Sasha Morgenthaler. They continue to be popular
in Europe and have a strong following among doll collectors in the United
States. Their have painted faces with Mona Lisa smiles, poseable heads, arms
and legs. They are surprisingly expressive with their simple lines.
Sasha
Dolls Through the Years is a difficult book to find; it’s an
excellent resource, thoroughly researched and with page after page of clear
color photographs, describes in detail the history and evolution of the Sasha
dolls, their faces, their body styles and compositions, and their clothing and
accessories.
This book is mostly of interest to
doll aficionados, but it’s one of the many gems here at Lincoln City Libraries.
