fashions from the October 1883 Delineator

 

This single page paper doll is broken into two parts as a fold in a smaller spread most likely an old issue of Doll Castle news however it is not labeled with a month or year. The doll has one dress, two tops and a skirt along with two hats. The artist is Lauren Welker.  Though I would assume the address is not to date.

This is a three panel paper doll almost formed like a card. It features Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt on November 189% Marries the Duke of Marlborough and she is labeled as the first "Poor little Rich Girl" This is drawn by the talented Brenda Sneathnen Mattox and was published in the Spring 1998 Victorian Sampler. Two expertly rendered historical gowns including the wedding dress and

Topsy-Turvy

 

I am cleaning up some old files and found a flash drive of scans of paper dolls I don't believe I've posted. It's been hard to keep track and organize what parts of my collection are on the blog and what is not. This black and white paper doll features a topsy-turvy style doll which can be flipped. It features three costumes and a cat.  the aritst name looks like it says Trevette . This is from Country Crafts Magazine 1992

Another black and white paper doll for Valentine's Day.  This three page paper doll is inspired by vintage Valentine figurines such as the ones made by Josef like  here  I will most likely not have time to finish coloring this before Valentine's Day.  

Valentine Paper Doll Card 2022 BW

 

Here is a black and white valentine paper doll card.  Print on two separate 11x8.5 (landscape) pieces of paper and fold in half, staple together in the middle with the first page as the cover of the card and the second page as the inside.  Sign and write on the side with the text.  I am working on a colored version of this card and hope to have it finished by tomorrow.  I am trying a new website called photopea, which is a photoshop like webiste.   

Princess Briar Rose (Sleeping Beauty) cutouts

 These black and white paper doll pages are a bit of a mystery to me.  I do not know where they came from or who created them.  Each doll has one outfit and lots of accessories.  

Helene

 

Ruddy, rounded  cheeks and flashing saucy eyes, bespeak the healthy outdoor girl, and Helene certainly is one of them.  she is a leader of all kinds of sports for girls and her flower garden is her home hobby.  Isn't that a swagger gymnasium outfit she has?

Helene and her Toy Horse Pegasus

 

12-11-1932

This one is in color.  the color is off set

This demure new member of your Doll Family evidently is a lover of horseback riding as she has brought with her a charming riding habit, with riding boots, crop and everything ready for the bridle path.  Her little trick horse, Pegasus is a rather wild-looking animal, and probably not much good for morning canter but he will make an intresting pet around the house anyway.

Famous-Heroes Color and Play

Here's a box set Colorforms Activity toy which features  Famous-Heroes or more commonly called today, superheros.  This is copyright National Periodical Publications, which I believe is now DC comics and the set is dated 1973. It features: Superman, Superboy, Krypto (the superdog), Aquaman and Aqualad, Batman and Robin, Green Lantern, the Flash, and Wonder Woman.  They are black and white and meant to be colored.  The set comes with 8 Crayola crayons, which are still unused and in the box.  It also says the colors can be wiped off and the figures colored again, but I'm not going to try and see if that works!  The figures also all have stands.

St Patrick's Day Barbie Card

I used the same base I used for my Christmas card here and Valentine's Day card here.  Fold each page in half, and staple together to make a card.  There are eight outfits total with a few matching hats.  Most are base on actual Barbies but some are made up (rainbow shirt and clover dress)  The front says Happy St. Patrick's Day, A Paper Doll Just for you and the inside says "Wishing You Luck on St. Patrick's Day"

Mystery Santa

So I have bought some lots and collections that have come with copies of paper dolls. This one above is such a paper doll.  It is very small but I scanned it at 600 dpi and then cropped it down.  This is a black and white Santa Clause paper doll of unknown origin.  Perhaps from a coloring book or a web page (though no url was on it)  He has his Santa suit and workshop outfit along with PJ's/thermals that he's wearing.

Patty and Peter

This black and white page is from Children's Activities magazine and is dated December 1941.  This page is meant to be colored.  There are two children, Patty and Peter.  Patty has 3 outfits and a hat and peter has 3 outfits and a hat as well.  The text reads

On Christmas morning Patty and Peter ran downstairs in their pajamas to see if Santa has visited them.
Sure enough! There were many toys and new clothes under their beautiful Christmas tree.
They played with their toys for a while.  Then they ran upstairs to get dressed.
Patty put on her pretty red dress.  Peter put on his new green sweater and brown trousers.
After dinner they dressed up in their warm, woolly outdoor clothes and went calling on their friends.
What a happy day they had!
