Medieval Inspiration

This post idea literally came to me in a dream. I dreamed of writing about dolls in the Middle Ages, and my little sleeping beauty castle was featured. I took some dramatic license, but the photos are of the castle as it is progressing, hopefully showing the Medeival influence on the Disney story. Some of the figures are by B. Shackman, now vintage, showing Victorian figures created by Pre-raphaelite artists. There is a post on this blog on Dolls of the Middle Ages with more photos. See also Arthurian Barbie outfits, Midwest doll ornaments, Peggy Niset, Madame Alexander, Air Fix, and other companies creating Medieval outfits for their dolls.
