Foreword The dolls and childhood ephemera presented in this book are entirely from one single collection, that of Samy Odin, as presented in the Musée de La Poupée in Paris for the past several decades. The collection began when Samy Odin and his father Guido lived in a small mountain town in the Italian Alps. Although French by heritage, the Odin family had escaped to that region during the persecution of Huguenots by Louis XIV, and had maintained for all these centuries the intellectual and artistic curiosity that had so categorized the movement. In the late 20th century, this curiosity manifested, for the Odin father and son, into a passion for the history and artistry of the doll. It was only a natural evolution from this to the formation of a doll museum, first simply a room in the attic of their Torre Pellice home in Italy, and then finally into the superb Musée de la Poupée in Paris. In his book, Fascinating Dolls (which inspired the title of this book) Samy Odin described the museum locale as “a little corner of nature, where time stands still, deep in the

heart of Paris”. It was the first, and to this day only, permanent museum in Paris devoted entirely to antique dolls. During this time Samy Odin also found time to author and co-author several books on the subject including the aforementioned Fascinating Dolls (2008, Reverie Publishing), Mignonette: Her History, Wardrobe and Miniature World 1878-1917 (with Mathilde Heritier, 2003), and The S.F.B.J. Dolls, 1899-1957 (1999), as well as author a number of elucidating articles for Antique Doll Collector, and lecture at important doll conventions and seminars. It has been with the spirit of the explorer-collector that the interests of Samy Odin have encompassed many categories of collecting, ranging from the classic beauties of the French bébé to the French

Guido and Samy Odin.

art movement of the early 1900s to the vintage cloth studio dolls of Paris in the 1930s, and with every imaginative childhood category in between. The authoring of his various books has instructed his collecting range, too, with a splendid selection of mignonettes, and a notable collection of dolls from the Societe Française de Bébés et Jouets (S.F.B.J.) which includes every model made by the group from the earliest year of 1899 until the final years. Each doll selected for the museum was chosen with deliberate care, and with attention to originality and provenance. Many dolls bear traces of their original family history, and each doll has been the subject of intense research and documentation by Samy Odin. Of particular interest is the outstanding doll by Albert Marque, #5 from the series of 100 dolls, which owns not only an original silk costume of historical nature and which bears the Margaine-Lacroix label, but also the brown woolen coat and hat which were the traditional costume of Mrs. Haverfield, an important figure in the British Suffragettes movement of the early 1900s. Notably the pencil inscription on the foot of this doll is “Mrs. Haverfield”, and, as Samy Odin wrote in his March 2013

article in Antique Doll Collector, the purposeful inclusion of this contemporary feminine heroine in the original Margaine-Lacroix presentation of the Albert Marque dolls “brings a totally different light” to their study. French poupées are also featured in the collection. There is “Violette”, who lived with her original family from 1865 to 1982 when she was acquired by Guido and Samy Odin, and who still owned her original extensive trousseau and accessories. In his book, Fascinating Dolls, Samy Odin recalls the final family owner who in her childhood in the 1920s had “played with this doll given to her by her grandmother”. In describing the doll in his book, Odin notes that the family, from the line of prominent French Huguenot families living in the Piemonte region of Italy where the Odins of French ancestry had also made their home for several centuries, held a “highly visible position in society” and the presentation of this doll to a young girl of the family was a nod to the rich heritage to their French roots. Notably, and endearingly, many of the original costumes that “Violette” still owns were mother-made from patterns presented in La Poupée Modele of that era. Other poupées in the collection also bear family stories, such as the impeccablypreserved waltzing Steiner, still with superb original costume. Odin relates “the woman who sold it to us shared her childhood memories of the one

special day each year when this family doll was taken out of its original box, demonstrated for all of the children how well it could waltz — and then the doll would return obediently to its box until the following year”. Other fine poupées range from wooden-bodied models by Bru and Jumeau to an earlier wooden-bodied poupée in superb original silk costume, preserved in her original box. The 196 pages of this volume are a testament to the serious pursuit of important antique dolls undertaken by Samy Odin and his father, Guido Odin. It is their fondest hope that new owners will cherish the dolls as they have, and, too, continue the pursuit of learning and research, in order that the following generation of owners, and the generations after that, will know even more of the history of dolls and their place in our universal culture. x

About Mrs. Haverfield Evelina Haverfield was a noted member of the British suffragette movement during the early years of 1900s. Historical accounts of her work appear in numerous online searches and printed books. Of particular interest regarding this present doll was her promotion of “Omne Tempus” all weather gear, described as “the ideal coat for town, country or Campaigning”. The brown woolen ensemble worn by this present doll, a notable departure from other MargaineLacroix costumes for the Albert Marque doll, was clearly inspired by this style, just as MargaineLacroix was likely influenced by the growing suffragette movement in France and England.
