Dolly dingle

Dolly Dingle Valentine ~-~ Dolly Dingle paper doll comes your way from the February 1927 edition of the classic children's magazine, Pictorial Review. Illustrated by Grace Drayton.

Dolly Dingle is a contemporary of Rose O’Neill’s Kewpies, and was born in 1913. She resembles the Kewpies, and has the same fat, rosy cheeks and wide, almost googly side-glancing eyes, but where most of the Kewpies are cherubs or babies, Dolly is a little girl. Like O’Neill, however, Drayton enjoyed a lot of commercial success.

Dover has published a few Dolly Dingle Reproduction books. This one is published in 1978 and features many Dolly Dingle sheets from the around the world dolls. The main difference between the orignal sheets and the reproduction is the size. These are 12x9 while the vintage magazine sheets are around 14x10 or so. Also the color of the reproduction tends to be brighter, especially the white background paper. I did not include scans all the pages of this item. the artist is Grace G Drayton.
