…Part of it lay in their very miniaturization, in what may be called the doll house effect.

Any small copy of a familiar object has a fascination all its own: models of ships and trains and cars and airplanes, museum dioramas, toy soldiers, architects’ models, midgets, babies, Statue of Liberty replicas, shrunken heads.

Small may or may not be beautiful but it is always and inherently interesting.”
