"Bébé Eventail" Musical Automaton by Leopold Lambert, c. 1895

With Jumeau bisque head stamped "Déposé Tête Jumeau 4", closed mouth, fixed brown paperweight eyes, pierced ears with earrings, cork pate, brown hair wig, bisque hands holding a bouquet and fan, on velvet-covered base with going-barrel movement playing a single air ("La Czarine") as the figure turns and inclines her head, twists the fan and raises the flowers, in original two-piece eau-de-nil satin costume with lace overlay and matching feathered hat, ht. 21 in. (53 cm) to top of hat, with JC (Jules Cuendet) tune-sheet, monogrammed brass LB key and stop / start, working and playing condition, jacket worn, discoloration in the bisque – presumably from the time of manufacture – on base of neck (covered by silk band) and hands. – Note: A French automaton with expressive bisque head by Emile Jumeau and couturier costume from the workshop of Eugénie Bourgeois Lambert. The choice of music, "La Czarine" by Louis Ganne, published in orchestral form in 1893, shows a maker at the height of his creative success and keen to keep up to date with the latest trends. – Literature: Bailly, "Automata, the Golden Age", pp. 183, 344.
