This Black lady doll belongs to member Myna Loesch. This lovely lass is approximately 10 inches tall with a composition body and bisque painted head. She may have been clothed to represent Martinique (her turban is replaced). The maker is Société Française de Fabrication de Bébés et Jouets, known by its initials "S.F.B.J." In 1899 the remaining French doll manufacturers joined together to form S.F.B.J. in an attempt to survive competition by German doll makers.
