Colorful paper dolls that sold everything from coffee to
cathartics, from tea to thread, from cocoa to corsets. These dolls
were the playthings of generations of children from the 1890s to
the First World War. These wonderful examples of advertising art
include fanciful characters from the imagination of artists like
Palmer Cox. Dolls dressed in the national costumes of the many
immigrants to the United States had a special appeal to everyone.
Dolls depicting characters from favorite nursery rhymes and folk
tales were issued by many advertisers; these dolls filled the
playtime hours of many. Dolls appealing to our patriotism take on
the form of Uncle Sam, soldiers, and sailors. Dolls also appeared
as Americans at work and play. Human characteristics were even
ascribed to animals of all kinds to give children an opportunity to
dress them up in colorful costumes. It is difficult to find a
segment of society not represented by a paper doll! Whether you're
a collector or someone simply interested in the charm and culture
of turn-of-the-century America, this book is sure to make a good
addition to your library.
