In days gone by, the dollhouse was a true work of art, something you would be proud to display to friends and family. They were the realms of adults not children. These days, there are more 'kit' houses available than ever before. However, the modern miniaturist isn't looking for a kit house. The dollhouse collector and artist wants something more challenging, more inspirational. They want something more like the dollhouses of days gone by. They want a dollhouse that's a work of art. This book series will introduce you to some of the most popular and the most unusual dollhouses of days gone by. These books have been specially designed to look like a plan book from yesteryear. From their creamy papers, to their charming hand drawn illustrations, to their faux woven cover, everything is designed to give you an experience like few other books can.

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.
