Dottie Darling goes to a Halloween Party



Here is an excellent example of a double sided paper doll - a doll with a front and a back and usually hinged. Even her black cat and her Halloween bat are double sided as are her clothes.The artist who created Dottie Darling was Corinne Pauli Waterall.
The dolls in this series very strongly resemble the Dolly Dingle dolls of Grace Drayton (who was also the creator of the Campbell Soup kids). Dolly Dingle was the monthly paper doll of the Pictorial Review from 1916 to 1933.
This Dottie Darling page was originally published in the Pictorial Review of October 1933
