A composition doll is a type of doll made from a mixture of materials, such as wood pulp, glue, and other substances, which are pressed together to form a solid body. These dolls were popular from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century and are often characterized by their realistic features and painted facial details. Composition dolls were made to be more durable and affordable compared to porcelain dolls. They typically have jointed limbs, allowing for movement, and are sometimes dressed in elaborate clothing. These dolls are now considered vintage collectibles, valued for their craftsmanship and historical significance.
