Made about 1939
Given by Brenda Tai Layton in 2008
The doll was a gift to Brenda Tai Layton from Claire Aston, a family friend. Her mother, Enid Ferris, had seen the film Gone With the Wind on its release and loved it. It is thought that the doll is modelled on the character Prissy, the maid, who was played by Butterfly McQueen. Brenda had the doll for over 20 years before donating it to us. She said at the time, "Although I prize the doll, I believe its place in Leamington's Art Gallery and Museum is of wider importance, covering the history of both the USA and Britain in terms of civil rights, economics, cultural awareness and the arts."
