June Amos Grammer was not only a much-loved doll designer, but she was a gifted illustrator. Even more than that, June was a dear friend. In her memory, we have issued a very special edition, June Amos and Mary Anne. In 1983, June illustrated a beautiful edition of the poem, Mary Anne by Mary Mapes Dodge. The book, published by Lothrop, Lee and Shepard has long been out-of-print. Each detailed piece of clothing and each accessory has been painstakingly copied from June's illustrations, bringing young June Amos and her doll, Mary Anne to life. A portion of the price of every doll will be donated to the June Amos Grammer Fund at the Museum of New York at the request of June's husband, George Grammer.

June Amos stands 16" tall. She has a porcelain head and hands on a fully jointed wooden body.

Mary Anne's accessories include: Hand embroidered sacque, dress of French lace and Swiss batiste, high top pink boots, petticoat, underwaist, locket on a chain, hand-painted paper and wood fan, hat and parasol.
