EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a charming porcelain doll named Florence, created by the skilled hands of American artist Edith Towner in approximately 1937. The doll, dressed in a vibrant checkered dress and matching bonnet, embodies the essence of country charm and the playful spirit of the 1930s and 1940s. Towner's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink technique she employed on this work of art. Florence's dress, with its bold and colorful check pattern, was a popular choice for children's wear during this era. The dress, coupled with the doll's sweet expression and innocent pose, speaks to the simple joys and pleasures of rural life in America during the 20th century. This beautiful work of art is a testament to Towner's exceptional talent as a designer and her ability to capture the spirit of the time. Florence, with her timeless appeal, continues to captivate audiences and remains an important piece of American decorative arts and heritage. Originally displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., as part of the Index of American Design, this precious doll now serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of American art and fashion during the 1930s and 1940s.
