Descriptive Note
Text: Cedric was bought in 1903 from
a shop in Westbourne Grove, London. He is dressed
in a sailor suit, a typical boy's dress of the early
20th century, with a red collar and red shoes. He
came with a Saratoga trunk full of clothes. He is
a typical bisque doll because only his head is made
from unglazed ceramic whilst his body is made of less
expensive composition. This made him more affordable
to produce and to buy. He has glass eyes that close
when he lies down to sleep and a blonde mohair wig.
