DOLLS HOUSES (HB)

Revised and now presented in hardback, with a new foreword by artist Rachel Whiteread, this delightful book explores the craftsmanship and cultural significance of dolls’ houses. A brief history is followed by a closer look at some of the most interesting and historically significant examples in the V&A's collection. Taking in country mansions, suburban villas, a Japanese house and Rachel Whiteread's celebrated installation Place (Village), the book reveals the fascinating role that dolls' houses have played in the lives of their owners and their reflection of contemporary lifestyle.
