The genius of the Moritz Gottschalk company lay in its ability to meld superb craftsmanship with artistic sensibility in the creation of enchanting dollhouses, stores, kitchens, stables, and a myriad of other miniature structures.
From 1865 through the mid 1930s, the company remained true to its goal of producing the finest miniature architectural gems. Today these toys are exceedingly collectible, appealing to both the novice and advanced collector for their beauty and desirability.
In the first book devoted to the prodigious output of the Gottschalk company, Evelyn Ackerman, an acknowledged expert in the field, brings her wealth of research and knowledge to this in-depth study. Over 275 color photographs accompanied by lively, descriptive text offer insight into these delightful objects.
The book identifies a wide variety of Gottschalk products, including rare examples. A complete reproduction of a circa 1885 Gottschalk sales catalog and many period advertisements provide an invaluable resource for the collector.
