Subject="Adams, Juliette Graves, 1858-1951"
Description="Mrs. Crosby Adams, noted musician, wrote a
number of piano compositions and two children's books featuring dolls as the
theme. For many years, she collected dolls, some of which are now housed in the
Montreat College Library, Montreat, North Carolina. This is a photograph of part
of Mrs. Adams' doll collection in her home in Montreat, N.C. Mrs. Adams became
known for her annual Dolls Musical Festivals in which her young piano students
were invited to bring a "going-away doll". Following a music recital
consisting entirely of music written about dolls, the dolls were packed and sent
to less fortunate children. This tradition continued for years, from
approximately 1908 until 1950. (3" x 7 3/4", photograph b&w)"
