I received this beautiful doll in the mail the other day from Katherine. She wrote: “My family’s neighbor from Italy worked for the countess Guadabasi who lived in Beverly Farms. When the countess died, our neighbor Rosina Rossi gave my family dresses and that doll, which my mom gave to me. I’ve been carrying it around for about 42 years….” While I was photographing it a stray cat in the neighborhood looked on through the window.
