A collection of paper dolls, cardboard cutouts, and pictures of dolls and toys, ca.1835-1904. The pictures include a colored drawing of a doll done by Cecil M. J. Cocks in 1901, a sketch of a girl with a doll, a fashion plate from 1868 with a girl holding a doll, and pictures of the interior of a toy shop, a man selling toys at an outdoor booth, and of a family with a baby, a small child, and toys (probably ca.1835). A cut-out figure shows a man with a grindstone; when put together, the figure will move. As well, there is a cardboard cut-out set of a zoo, with animals, animal houses, and visitors. The original folder is included with the set. One set of paper dolls depicts foreigners, both women and men, who attended the Exposition Universelle Internationale de 1900, held in Paris. In addition to people from various European countries, there are Malagasans (from Madagascar), a Cingalese (from Ceylon), and a Javnese woman. Another set of paper dolls were supplements to the magazine La Poupée Modèle, which was published in Paris. These depict noted women of history, including St. Blandine, Joan of Arc, Anne of Brittany, Mary Stuart (Mary, Queen of Scots), Catherine de Medici, Charlotte de la Trémouille, and others.
