French Fanfare With Jim Fernando DVD
101 Doll and Study Club
Fifteen years ago in 1992 visitors and attendees at the UFDC convention in San Francisco had a unique opportunity to see a wonderful exhibit of antique Bru dolls and French Fashion dolls. Jim Fernando, an internationally recognized doll expert, not only organized and set up this display, he also provided exhibit tours and commentary. Professional video recording of this presentation "French Fanfare" was later released on VHS video and sold by UFDC. The supply of the tapes was very limited, several hundreds of copies sold quickly and today these tapes are virtually impossible to find.
One hour and ten minutes of seemingly endless parade of most beautiful antique Bru and French fashion dolls presented by President of our Doll Club, my mentor and friend Jim Fernando. Jim's expansive knowledge of the dolls, his expert commentary and wonderful presentation makes this DVD a true "must have" for any antique doll enthusiast!
In this captivating DVD, Jim Fernando, an esteemed expert in antique dolls, takes you on a delightful journey through the enchanting world of French fashion dolls and the renowned Bru dolls. This exhibition showcases a stunning collection, allowing viewers to marvel at the intricate craftsmanship and historical significance of these beautiful pieces.
The Bru dolls are particularly noteworthy, as they were produced by the French dollmaker, Albert Bru, during the late 19th century. Renowned for their lifelike features and exquisite detailing, these dolls often featured:
Human-like porcelain heads with finely painted facial features.
Realistic glass eyes that could open and close.
High-quality wigs made from human hair or mohair to enhance their lifelike appearance.
Luxurious clothing crafted from rich fabrics, adorned with delicate lace and embroidery.
Throughout the DVD, Jim shares his extensive knowledge about the history and evolution of French fashion dolls, detailing their significance in the world of collectibles. French fashion dolls, also known as carnival dolls, were originally created as fashion models to showcase the latest styles among the elite of French society. These dolls were often dressed in miniature versions of contemporary dresses and designed to reflect the fashion trends of their time. Key highlights include:
Painted and articulated bodies that allowed for a range of posing and display options.
Access to exclusive fashions created by leading designers of the period.
The incorporation of cultural elements that influenced fashion choices across Europe.
Jim's presentation not only emphasizes the aesthetic beauty of these dolls but also offers insights into their cultural and historical context. Each exhibit presented in this DVD is accompanied by detailed descriptions, ensuring that both novice collectors and seasoned enthusiasts gain a deeper understanding of the significance and value of these remarkable dolls.
Overall, French Fanfare With Jim Fernando is a must-see resource for anyone interested in the world of antique dolls, providing a rich tapestry of knowledge that spans both craftsmanship and cultural history.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
