Dainty French Imitations of S. and J. Fuller Paper Doll Books
Original: Dainty French Imitations of S. and J. Fuller Paper Doll Books: Delphine and Emma by Augustin Le Grand by Andrea Immel ht
Andrea Immel has written a piece on the Cotsen blog at Princeton examining 'Delphine and Emma' by Augustin Le Grand, early French imitations of the paper doll books published by the London firm S. and J. Fuller. The article traces how the fashionable English format of dainty cut-out paper dolls was adapted for French children's books, a topic of interest to collectors and historians of children's literature.
Why now: Historians and collectors of children's books are drawn to new scholarship on rare Regency-era paper doll books.
