If you follow my Victorian Dolls, Victorian Traditions, The Victorian Era and Me Blog you know that I just LOVE the Victorian Era, love history, and love to do research. In doing all of that I ran across the Metropolitan Museum of Art website the other day and fell in love with their collections, the ability to see everything they have in their collections, and the ability to set-up my own "My Met" space to bookmark items at the MET that I love.
Well, while "Moseying At The MET!" last week I came across items from their French Doll Fashion Collection and fell in love with them. Now all you have to know as to why I would fall in LOVE with them is they have to do with dolls and have to do with the fashions of the Victorian Era and periods before and after that.
They are in fact a collection of fashion dolls displaying French fashions from 1715 until 1906. There seems to be 42 dolls int he collection and they give you a wonderful picture of the way French fashion has changed through the ages. I would love to see this collection in person, but it isn't on display.
