13 Madame Alexander Composition ALICE IN WONDERLAND
S uddenly she came upon a little three-legged table. All made of solid glass: there was nothing on it but a tiny golden key, and Alice's first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall, but, alas!
Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time around, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted! From Lewis Carroll's ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, Special edition, published by Random House, Inc. Uh-oh - she's gone down the rabbit hole! This petite 13 All Original Madame Alexander ALICE IN WONDERLAND with the Wendy Ann face was produced in the 1930s.
She is made of composition and is featured with a twist waist and a unique difference in the bend of one leg at the knee and one arm at the elbow for ultimate posing possibilities. Her composition is lovely with no crazing and no rubs at the joints that I can see.
Her brown eyes are clear andun-crackled. Smaller dolls seem to stand the test of time better than larger dolls. Her human hair wig is blonde with straight bangs and pulled back at the crown, tied with a blue ribbon. Her organdy undies and petticoat are without holes and edged with delicately-embroidered trim.
The petticoat is attached to the skirt of her blue and white frock, which has had minimal fading over the years. Her little pinafore-apron is made of white cotton organdy and is finished with eyelet trim at the shoulders and around the apron, closing at the back with a single MA square snap at the waistline.
I made her a silver bracelet holding the key mentioned in the excerpt (above). She comes also with her black and white cat Dinah, acquired while living with me as well as the Flamingo used as a croquet stick in the fantasy. It can double as an ornament on your Christmas tree as well. The white Rabbit in the photos was made by Faith Wick and was used as a photo prop only.T hank you for looking!
