EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a charming and intricately crafted Pedlar doll named Sarah Thrifty, dating back to the early 19th century. This jointed wooden doll showcases exquisite details with painted features, standing at a petite length of 20.3 cm. Adorned in multiple layers of clothing including three petticoats, a pink and white striped kerchief, printed bedgown, blue and white check apron, cap, brown stiffened bonnet, red hooded cloak, knitted stockings, and laced boots; her attire reflects the fashion of the era. Sarah Thrifty carries a compartmentalized tray with ribbon handles that holds her various wares for sale. A numbered card lists these items as she embodies the role of an itinerant pedlar or hawker possibly from Germany. The doll's accessories such as her bonnet and cape add to her regency-style appearance. This delightful miniature figure evokes nostalgia for childhood playtime while also providing insight into historical trade practices during the Victorian era. With its attention to detail and intricate craftsmanship, this Pedlar doll serves as both an object of beauty and educational value. Displayed at Manchester Art Gallery in the UK today, this photograph allows us to appreciate this unique piece from their collection without being physically present. It is truly fascinating how such artifacts can transport us back in time and offer glimpses into different aspects of society through material culture.
