Dora Petzold is this doll's name. Germany is her native land. There can be no mistake, for she has her name and the name of her country tattooed on her skin just like a sailor.
Dora is such a big, lifelike doll that she looks more like a little girl seated in the midst of her doll collection, than she does like a doll. Perhaps if Dora should come alive, she would collect dolls. Who knows?
At any rate, Dora seems proud of the dolls. On her lap Dora has a rubber baby. doll. Back of that is another modern baby doll. The two little sister dolls that are dressed so much alike, are from Czechoslovakia. The doll with the gingham apron, broom and white cap is a dried apple doll. Her face and hands are made from a dried apple. The dolls in front of the little sisters are from Russia. The little Russian girl is holding her scarf over her head and the boy carries a staff in one hand. An old-fashioned homemade Humpty Dumpty doll with a rubber ball in his middle, so that he can roll down a slope easily, sits on top of a box at Dora's right. Little Red Riding Hood stands near him. The dolly with the polka dot dress has her arms full of dolls. Little Boy Blue, a small china doll, lies near his sheep. The oldest doll in the group is the small, jointed china doll leaning against Dora's foot. Whether or not Dora comes alive, she has the beginnings of a doll collection right there.
