Old commercial dolls (approx. 9" tall) are from the Jamestown Exposition, 1907. Undoubtedly, these dolls were the first "ethnic" dolls that some Sioux children had to play with. The dolls are leather, fringed on the sides, and appear to be stuffed with some kind of animal (horse?) hair. Details on the dolls are all hand-drawn, and there is wear apparent on both dolls. The Jamestown Exposition was one of the many world's fairs and expositions that were popular in the United States in the early part of the 20th century. Commemorating the 300th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown in the Virginia Colony, it was held from April 26 to December 1, 1907 in Norfolk, Virginia. It celebrated the first permanent English settlement in the present United States. City: Norfolk State: Virginia Date: 1907 HWAC# 33130
