Dolls' Houses presents specially commissioned photography detailing the astonishing skill and craftsmanship required to create these homes in miniature scale. The book invites you to take a close-up look at the most interesting and historically significant examples of this absorbing craft, from the exquisite Nuremberg House of 1673 to the brightly colored 21st-century Kaleidoscope House.
