Russian paper dolls

Welcome!

I haven’t shared paper dolls in awhile.
Time for a paper trip to Russia!



Artist Tatiana Beeva



Dolly Dingle first appeared in 
‘The Pictorial Review’ magazine in 1913.
For many many years Dolly Dingle had paper doll adventures with themes such as
Dolly visits the Opera,
Dolly adopts a War Orphan,
Dolly’s Country Cousin visits,
and
Dolly’s World Flight.

Grace G. Drayton is the artist.
Ms. Drayton is also the artist that created
The Campbell Soup kids’.

Today she visits Russia!

This paper doll girl is part of a series of one page
paper dolls featuring a different country each.
Sorry, I could not find a better photo of her.

A series of black and white French language paper dolls 
with items from their country
By hugolescargot.com



This is from a Dolls of the Nations series of 
wrap-around paper dolls
printed in the Boston Sunday Globe.

I just love the vintage features 
and coloring in them!


Lettie Lane was a wonderful paper doll series
that was first printed in 1908,
the October issue of The Ladies Home Journal.

This paper doll series by Sheila  Young
is the one you want to go to for accurate fashions and style from 1908-1915.
Dover Publications has many of them in
a reproduction paper doll book form.

A series of Russian headdresses through the years

Lastly I would like to share
Kellogg’s Krumbles “Russia” 
one page paper doll from their 
‘Around the World Cut Out Dolls’ series.


This series feature one page with 2 paper dolls,
traditional costumes and 
a little ‘fact blurb’ about the country.
It was, best as I can find out,
a 1930-1950 cereal premium.

I hope you have enjoyed this variety of 
International paper dolls
with a Russian theme.

There are more countries to be explored,
more paper dolls to discover
and play with!

‘Til next time,
