After this appraisal originally aired in 2008, we received an email from a viewer telling us there is a translation of the booklet that accompanied the Jumeau doll in Spinning Wheel's Complete Book of Dolls, edited by Albert Christian Revi. The booklet features a letter written as though it were from the doll to her new child-owner, in which the doll expresses a striking compulsion to destroy "ugly and ridiculous" German dolls of inferior quality: "I am not a fighter but I assure you, Mademoiselle, that if I find myself one day face to face with one of them, I will break it like glass, this cardboard baby that smells of tallow and wax. Ah! I am a true French baby!" In anticipation of this appraisal’s re-airing in the 2021 Vintage Orlando, Hour 1 episode, ROADSHOW conducted further research to ensure that we accurately answered the question: Who exactly is “stomping” on the doll? According to the 1980 book The Jumeau Doll by Margaret Whitton, each doll – or “bebé” as they were also called – came with several booklets and games. In one of those booklets, titled “Letter of a Jumeau Baby to Her Little Mother,” the doll warns her new child-owner that if she were to receive an “imperfect doll” she must: “Destroy immediately this trash. It is good only for those frightful German babies (dolls).” Beyond its obvious national chauvinism, the message is clear: If any imperfections are found in the doll, someone should destroy it.
