    Insured: Anthony Bazzoni 23 Kingsgate Street Holborn wax and composition doll maker
    A. Bazzoni of High Holborn, London advertised himself as a manufacturer of wax and composition dolls and also as the maker of the speaking doll which could say both Mama and Papa.
    The only known marked example of a Bazzoni doll, although with no voice box but with a simple cloth body, also has a wax over papier mâché head.
    Bazzoni is listed in London business directories between 1832 and 1855.
    Henry Mayhew in his London Labour and the London Poor interviewed "the ingenious inventor of the speaking doll", who talked at length and with great pride of his invention which also said Mama and Papa.
    In another interview with a glass eye maker, Mayhew quotes him as saying that the speaking doll maker of High Holborn gave him his largest order ever, amounting to 50, which, bearing in mind that ordinary eyes cost 5 shillings for 12 dozen pairs, amounted to a staggering amount of dolls.
    The talking doll maker who was interviewed by Mayhew said he only sold "rather more than a dozen (talking dolls) a year at 6.6 each."

    Bazzoni, Anthony wax dolls 1843-1878
    Anthony Bazzoni - from 1832 to 1855 is referred to in documents as a London businessman.
    Known as "talking" dolls - in fact it was a "mom-dad" beeper.
    His "talking" dolls even traveled to St. Petersburg.
    One was damaged in transit, and the gentleman who bought it was unable to find a wizard in the whole of Russia able to fix the doll's voice.
    Antonio Bazzoni lived at 23 Kingsgate Street ... this was re-named Southampton Row in 1905 ... No. 23 is now a Pret A Manger take-away.
    Other membsers of the Bazzoni family can be found in Clerkenwell at the time that Frederick Rippington lived there.
    Also this doll maker can be found in Clerkenwell:
