Josephine's bears portray every social period and every walk of life. They are fully the equivalent of dolls house dolls and extend the portrayal of a miniature scene with a sense of humor and fun. It is surprising how quickly the viewer adapts to seeing a collection of bears, rather than dolls, in a doll house. Like the best doll makers, Josephine ensures that each character fits it's station and scene. They may not be the dolls one expects to see in full historical dress, but their personalities allow the viewer's imagination to become comfortable with a different type of dollhouse resident.
