Although she was allowed to buy her little masterpieces, the creator would not release her name and prefers to be anonymous, though each one is made with the most impeccable details as perfectly scaled replicas of actual RARE antique books and manuscripts, including the most incredible details such as foxing page by page as they appear in the life size version. This 5-Volume set is leather bound with an elegant designs on their gold gilt covers, molded spines, readable (by magnifying glass) pages and fanciful black and white illustrations and decorations. All the original books she created these replicas from, are no longer in publication, and went out of print long ago. Even her books arrive in an unmarked box, no name. It reminds me of the movie, The Miniaturist, the artist in this movie did not reveal her name either.These are truly the best made books in miniature dollhouse size I have ever come across. I have sold more than 10,000 books in my miniature career. The interior paper is lovely and feels handmade, just truly extraordinary.
