A Modicum of All-Bisque Goebel Kewpies Posing with a Carl Horn Doll and a Seated Pussycat

A gathering of bisque dollhouse miniatures, hosted by place card Kewpies—a mandolin-playing imp and the lawyer—is overlooked by the seated governor and his dandled dachshund. A Hertwig Carl Horn penny doll, enrobed in a crocheted ensemble and Bollenhut-style hat, leans on a celadon-green leg of an open-backed chair, on which a verdant-eyed grimalkin is seated, fastuously wearing her pink pussy-bow kerchief. A kindred kitten, lithographed on a tin saucer from a child's tea set, and a 1970s Felix wooden puppet oeillade the seated puss and the foreground festivities.
