Built for Queen Mary in the early 1920s and designed by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, the dolls’ house is a perfect 1:12 scale representation of a grand aristocratic residence. This work captures the intricate detail and historical significance of the house, which was intended to showcase the finest British artistry, craftsmanship, and industry of the era.The book details the extraordinary contributions of hundreds of artists, authors, and craftsmen who provided miniature paintings, tiny hand-bound books for the library, and even functioning plumbing and electrical systems. From the meticulously stocked wine cellar to the royal garage containing miniature cars, 'Souvenir Book of the Queen’s Dolls’ House' offers a fascinating glimpse into a miniature world that remains a testament to early 20th-century design and royal heritage. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of British royalty, architectural miniatures, and the decorative arts.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
