America's Early Advertising
Paper Dolls (Schiffer Book for Collectors)
by Lagretta Metzger Bajorek, Benjamin T. Bajorek (Photographer), benjamin BajorekBook
Description
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.
