Book Description
Delightfully child-like in some ways, perversely voyeuristic in others, this book has the potential to be a cult classic. It's a fascinating journey in miniature through several doll's houses complete with their original mid-century furnishings, wallpaper and details. Skillful photography puts you right into the center of these mint-condition dwellings, built during the 1950's and '60's by three internationally recognized Swedish toy makers, Brio, Lundby and Micki. All of these elements blend to create an incredibly rich historical document. This eccentric but addictive book will be a favorite of not only retrophiles and interior designers but also anyone who has spent long days playing with a beloved doll house.

Book Description
From the Star-Spangled Banner flag to Dorothy's Ruby Slippers, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History is home to some fascinating objects. In fact, one of the most fascinating of these, and one of the most popular, is itself a home. On the museum's third floor sits a five-story dollhouse donated to the museum by Faith Bradford, a Washington D.C. librarian, who spent more than a half-century accumulating and constructing the 1,354 miniatures that fill its 23 intricately detailed rooms. When Bradford donated them to the museum in 1951, she wrote a lengthy manuscript describing the lives of its residents: Mr. and Mrs. Peter Doll and their ten children, two visiting grandparents, twenty pets, and household staff. Bradford cataloged the Dolls' tastes, habits, and preferences in neatly typed household inventories, which she then bound, along with photographs and fabric samples, in a scrapbook. She even sent museum curators holiday cards written by the Dolls. In America's Doll House, Smithsonian Institution curator William L. Bird, Jr. weaves this visual material and back-story into the rich tapestry of Faith Bradford's miniature world. Featuring vibrant photography that brings every narrative detail to life, America's Doll House is both an incisive portrait of a sentimental pastime and a celebration of Bradford's remarkable and painstaking accomplishment.
