Fetus model set (circa 1877) - Toyota Collection “In the 18th and 19th centuries, sideshow carnivals known as misemono were a popular form of entertainment for the sophisticated residents of Edo (present-day Tokyo). The sideshows featured a myriad of educational and entertaining attractions designed to evoke a sense of wonder and satisfy a deep curiosity for the mysteries of life. One popular attraction was the pregnant doll.” [Source: Geijutsu Shincho magazine, July 2001] (via 19th-century pregnant dolls ~ Pink Tentacle)
