EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming early 20th century photograph captures a delightful moment as two young girls from Switzerland play a matching game with their Misfitz Dolls. The Misfitz Dolls, also known as Swiss Dolls or Segmented Dolls, were a traditional toy popular in Switzerland and other Alpine regions during this time. The dolls were made up of several small, interconnected sections, allowing the girls to separate and reassemble the parts, encouraging dexterity and problem-solving skills. The girls in the photograph are dressed in traditional Swiss attire, each wearing a white blouse with a red apron, their hair styled in neat plaits. The girls' faces are filled with concentration as they carefully examine the segments of their dolls, ensuring that each piece matches its counterpart. The cards spread out before them indicate that this is a game of memory and matching, adding an extra layer of fun to their playtime. The Misfitz Dolls were a beloved part of Swiss childhood, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple joys of childhood and the importance of traditional toys in shaping the minds and imaginations of young girls. The silly and engaging nature of the game, combined with the beautiful Swiss costumes and the girls' earnest expressions, make this photograph a treasured piece of history.
