(SOLD): HEATH, Lelia. Barbies Around The World Trip.

(Portland, Oregon): Mattel / Sawyer’s Inc., 1965. First edition. View-Master picture packet, 11.2 × 11.2 cm. Original packet containing a 16-page booklet and three seven-scene stereoscopic reels (B500). A charming and scarce early Barbie View-Master production, following Barbie, Ken, Skipper, Midge and Barbie’s father on an imaginary round-the-world journey. The itinerary includes London, Tintagel, Paris, Athens, Cairo, India, Kyoto, Bali, Australia, the Great Barrier Reef, Tahiti, Waikiki and San Francisco. The scenes were created as miniature dioramas, with the dolls photographed in elaborate settings and costumes. A very good example.
