Madame Alexander, The Trudy Butler Collection at Theriault's Special Marquis Studio Auction. The breath-taking one-owner Trudy Butler collection of fashionable ladies from the celebrated American firm is highlighted by a remarkable collection of Cissy dolls in original costumes. “Perhaps not every model ever made, but very close to it!” says Florence Theriault. Especially notable is the pristine preservation of the dolls with perfect coiffures, complexions and costumes. The collection also includes other Alexander fashionable dolls including Margaret, Queens, Elise and Cissette, as well as “Ballet des Fleurs”, “Judy”, and “Champs Elysees” from the very rare 1951 Portrait series. Softbound. 188 pages. $59.00
