Her Golliwogg character, immediately loved by children, was the first fictional character to be mass-produced.  This is the first complete and accurate account of the original Golliwogg, filling a void in the history of children''s literature and in the history of dolls. Upton was also a respected artist, settling in London after studies in Paris, and this biography is a comprehensive study of her artistic career, bringing together for the first time reproductions of her major works. It therefore adds a rich and formerly unexplored chapter to the history of women in the arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...thought-provoking for the background Davis presents on how women in art were treated during the late 1890s and early 1900s. * VOYA *\u003cbr\u003e...very interesting and informative. * Doll Castle News *\u003cbr\u003e...a valuable resource. * Martha's Kidlit Newsletter *","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038284939607,"sku":"9780810825116","price":64.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780810825116.jpg?v=1750939769","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-lark-ascends-florence-kate-upton-artist-and-illustrator-9780810825116","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
