19th century paper doll made from a fashion plate, cut out and pasted
upon a hand-drawn body. The sash and ribbons on the front of her
dress are applied from an iridescent, aubergine-colored paper.
Perhaps the young girl who made this doll was planning her wedding
dress. This great mixed-media collage is archivally mounted with
hand-marbled paper made by the exact methods used since the 16th
century. The period gilt stenciled frame is circa 1870, as is the
paper doll. Perfect for a little girl's bedroom. Please
forgive the glare in the left side of the picture. I'll try to get
a better photograph taken within the next few days. Framed size 11
5/8" x 13 3/4". The paper doll is about 8" tall to the bottom of
her applied sash. Circa 1870. (#792) Sale Pending |
