Paper Dolls and How to Make Them |
(No Author Stated but written by C. B. Allair) - This book was originally
published in 1856. It has been carefully reproduced so that the reproduction bears a striking resemblance to what an original would have looked like when it was new. The ISBN label can be peeled off (or omitted completely if you desire) so that it can be taken to the field by reenactors and used in period scenarios.
