sketchbook - talking doll


I decided to fill my sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project with failed ideas and inventions. This one is of a talking doll designed by Thomas Edison. The mehanism used to make the doll's voice was difficult to wind and wore out quickly, giving the doll an eerie, shrieking voice that became unintelligable. Only about 500 were sold, most of which were returned. Creepy, huh?
