Nellie by Helen Page



























One of my early posts showed Helene from this set: A Box of 10 Cutout dolls with Dresses. Jean Sullivan noted that this set is illustrated in Mary Young's Lowe/Whitman reference book on pages 14 and 82; Young's book states the boxed set was shown in the 1945 and 1947 catalogues.

There are no identifying marks are the individual doll pamphlets, so a beginner collector finding these without the box (and without the Young reference guide) would have no idea that this is the work of a beloved paper doll artist.

To find all references and images relating to Helen Page on the blog, simply enter her name in the search engine at the top of the page.
