"Tiddy Doll, Gingerbread Baker (NYPL Digital Library) Tiddy Doll was a famed 18th century gingerbread vendor, a well-known sight amongst the butchers and toy-men, jugglers and fire-eaters at London's Bartholomew Fair and Shepherd's Market in Mayfair. He was even known to ply his wares at public executions, and can be seen in the lower right-hand corner of Hogarth's Idle Prentice Executed at Tyburn, waving a spicy cake to the boisterous mob. His real name was apparently Ford, acquiring his nickname from a habit of ending his addresses to the crowd with the last lines of a popular ballad, ""tid-dy did-dy dol-lol, ti-tid-dy ti-ti, tid-dy tid-dy, dol."" Wearing a white apron over his customary white gold laced suit, ruffled shirt, laced hat and feather and silk stockings, ""like a person of rank,"" his name was associated for many years with a person dressed out of character, as ""you are as tawdry as Tiddy-doll; you are quite Tiddy-doll,"" etc."
