Description
This charming one page paper doll is from the Ladies Home Journal for the year 1910.  It is one page, titled "Lettie Lane's Around the World Party in Which Her Married Sister Sends Her Pictures of a Italian Boy and Girl".  The page doesn't have a date on it, but the others in this series are from 1910.
The dolls feature wonderful costumes that are titled as to what they were and which doll they belonged to, since they would have been strange to a child in the Victorian era.  They were created by Sheila Young, who created Lettie Lane, Betty Bonnet and others for the magazine for several decades.
This page is in good vintage condition; it is made from a heavy paper, that is fragile (later ones were made from a thinner paper).  It has browned a bit with age, is slightly wrinkled from handling, and has some very slight wear along the edges.  The dolls were meant to have an "easel" attached to the back, so they could free stand.  It is a beautiful set of a scarce paper doll.  There are a few very small closed tears, that I have repaired on the back with acid free paper tape.  This is tape that was recommended to librarians that I used as an antiquarian book dealer to repair antique books.  It is made from a very thin, translucent paper that is almost invisible when applied.
It would be charming framed, or just to collect.  I have lots of others for sale, so take a look!

I accept Paypal! Payments required within four days, please. If you are going to need longer, please contact me, so we can make arrangements.
Shipping
All items are shipped within 24 hours of payment! I try and recycle packaging materials as much as I can. I hate adding more garbage to the environment; if you receive a box from me that has been used before, I am "recycling". I will make sure it's sturdy and the item well packaged. I will ensure your item will arrive in good condition, but the box may not be pretty (or it might be - I have to buy boxes, as well). All shipping within the US is free to you. All my packages are tracked, but if for some reason you don't receive your item or it arrives broken, I will refund your money.
