Paper doll, with six sets of dress (one including a separate hat) and a wooden stand. All pieces are lithographically printed and hand-colored, with varnish. The paper doll (wearing petticoats) and dresses are two-sided. The two sides of each dress are glued together along one of the side edges, allowing the dresses to slide over the doll.
The costumes include: [1] a bright yellow dress and blue jacket, with hands holding an illustrated book; [2] a purple dress, with hands holding a green parasol and pulling on yellow gloves; [3] a red dress with blue trim and lace bodice, with hands holding a watering-can and poesy of flowers; [4] a light brown dress, with hands holding a hoop and stick; [5] a blue evening dress, with hands holding a red rose; and [6] a green evening dress with pearl necklace, gloved hands, and a matching hat. - Subject Terms:
