Abstract

In recent decades, the history of doll making has become a topic of recent research, both from the history of education and from the industrial history. This paper is a first historical approach to doll making in Spain through its inventions and patents before the First World War. The exhaustive emptying of doll patents conserved at the Historical Archives of the Oficina Española de Patentes y Marcas has been completed with the visit of 20 specialized collections.
