Description

Barbie doll and fashion doll collectors everywhere will be thrilled with our exciting new title devoted to Bild-Lilli, the comic character that inspired teenage fashion dolls. Created in 1952 by Bild Zeitung newspaper cartoonist Reinhard Beuthin in Hamburg, Germany, the seductive, fashionable Lilli was not originally designed for children. However, her quick popularity prompted the production of the Lilli doll, which eventually led to the creation of the American Barbie doll by designer Ruth Handler. Collector Books is pleased to present our first book devoted to Bild-Lilli, complete with over 650 detailed color and b/w photos. There are close-ups of the many different faces of these unique hand-painted dolls, now worth hundreds and even thousands of dollars in the collector's market. Hailed by many as 'the doll that started it all,' Bild-Lilli dolls are shown loose as well as in the plastic cylinders in which the dolls originally came, with miniature versions of the newspaper for which Lilli was named. Lilli's faces and hairstyles, accessories from other manufacturers, and a complete look at the 1950s decade, particularly in Germany, are included in this comprehensive collectors value guide. REVIEW: This book chronicles Barbie throughout her first 30 years of production, and provides an entertaining look at the way she changed over that period of time.
