International vintage paper dolls

Welcome

 All kaleidoscopes by inkspired and KaleidoCam 

I would love to share with you today a few vintage paper dolls.

They all are one page dolls,

which means doll and costume(s) are on one page

instead of several.

The paper dolls featured represent countries where I have readers!

Let’s start with Japan -

The above doll is part of a series that were printed in

the Boston Sunday Globe, around 1909.

The artist is J.V. Sloan.

Thanks for your interest in my blogs, Japanese readers!

Next I have another Dolly Dingle international paper doll.

You can read more about Dolly in my past blog

“It’s a small world after all”

In the Land of Cherry Blossoms, Dolly Dingle paper doll

My readers from Italy have supported me

from my first blogs several years ago.

 Next up -

Switzerland!

Here are 2 paperdolls representing traditional 

costumes from Germany -

A big hello to my Russian supporters:

I hope you have enjoyed this little trip 

around the world with vintage paper dolls.

If you choose to print them for playtime,

glue them onto a piece of thin cardboard

(Think cereal boxes)

and cut out to increase their lives!

Another Dutch paper doll to add to the previous ones.

 

I love paper dolls,

and international costumes,

and vintage styles.

I’m so happy to share these with you!

With faint dry sound,

Like steps of passing ghosts,

The leaves, frost-crisp'd,

break free from the trees

and 

fall."

And the bits of silken down

Float off upon the autumn breeze

Across the meadows brown."

Put on your dresses scarlet and gold,

For summer is gone and the days grow cold.'
