Psyche Paper Dolls
In the early 1800′s, the latest Parisian fashions were circulated to other countries as colored engravings in fashion magazines. In the 1830′s, Journal de Modes decided the one-dimensional magazine images could be improved upon and produced a paper doll named “Psyche”, along with two-sided hats and clothing, which could be seen from the front or the back. For the next forty years, she was the number one paper doll in the world, with hundreds of costumes being designed for her. (Information obtained from www.dollmasters.com.)
