Adele



A lovely paper doll from The Delineator magazine from 1912.  The sheets are quite big since magazines used to be bigger, 10 and half inches by 15 inches. The wrap around feature is a nice touch and adds a 3D element.  I only have the doll page for my collection and the other dresses are from my interent downloads.  If you are the original owner of the scans, please let me know so I can credit the orignal source.
