I think its amazing to have immortalized a person in a doll. Imagine if each doll could be traced to a living ancestor.

You are very close on the year. I read on the Smithsonian Magazine that these historical but creepy-looking dolls were only sold for a few weeks in April 1890. The earliest restored talking doll recording was “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” which dates from 1888.

Out of silly kids, that is.

i LOVE how they're just bebe jumeaus with like...metal barrel chests. also this is FASCINATING. you can hear the effort the ladies had to exert when speaking to even be heard via wax record & how they had to speak slow & maintain a child/doll voice while basically yelling. it's a great recording all things considered! was wax just that bad from the get go and only degrades over time? bc even a fresh recording on wax sounds reeeal old. if anyone's interested, Rob Scallon recorded himself & friends playing metal to a wax record.

No,they were terrified,that’s a fact.

How cool were those dolls?

I can't stand it when people ridicule, or don’t take serious early inventions; don’t they realise that without them a lot of what we enjoy and take for granted in life today would be non-existent!??? A little respect PLEASE! These Dolls were marvellous inventions!

I agree! This was a trailblazing, novelty for it's time and a predecessor to later talking toys. Without this first experiment with talking dolls, other inventors wouldn't have had anything to compare or improve upon. It's just like the early talking films. They were clunky and awkward, but they made way for classic sound movies that we can still enjoy today. Around 1768 Pierre Jaquet-Droz created the first recorded animated dolls that could move and write in French and English. They were called automatons. They were pretty elaborate for their times, and, in my opinion, they were early models of what automation/artificially intelligence can do today, but without them, creators would have had nothing to build upon. 💻
