This video is just simply stunning.

I haven’t sat around like this with my mouth open since I accidently stumbled upon a Playboy when I was 11 or 12.

There are and were truly brilliant minds out there, I don’t think anyone questions that. But the quality and craftsmanship of this “doll” is astonishing. For something like this to have lasted 240 years is almost inconceivable. Someone must have loved it very much. What a treasure.
