Description
Discover this charming lot of two vintage Dover Paper Doll books, perfect for collectors, scrapbookers, and creative crafters! This set includes Adventures of Dolly Dingle (1985 reprint) featuring 16 full-color plates by Grace G. Drayton, and Ballerina Paper Doll (1994) with a gatefold cover showcasing elegant ballet costumes by Tom Tierney. Both books are unused/uncut, meaning all dolls, outfits, and accessories remain safely attached to the pages, preserving their pristine condition for cutting or display.
These Dover reprints offer high-quality illustrations on sturdy paper stock, ideal for vintage costume design, coloring, or nostalgic play. The Dolly Dingle volume reproduces beloved early 20th-century “roly-poly” characters from Pictorial Review, while the Ballerina book highlights detailed theatrical designs inspired by classical ballets. A delightful addition to any paper doll collection or a unique gift for lovers of retro art and dance.
Condition is good vintage used: covers show light shelf wear and minor edge/corner rubbing consistent with age; pages are intact with no major creases, writing, or stains. Interior foxing and age-appropriate yellowing are present. Please review photos for exact details. Both books ship carefully packed to ensure they arrive in the condition shown!
