A long lost treasure has been reproduced on CDROM, a great resource for teachers, crafters, and parents at home! "Victorian Paper Dolls from the Pages of Godeys Ladys Book" includes digital reprints of rare Victorian paper dolls published in 1859. Although paper dolls could be purchased in boxes or envelopes during the mid-19th century, Godeys was the first magazine to provide color paper dolls in one of its issues; included was a page of six figures of boys and girls for children to color, plus a page of hand-colored outfits to cut out. Each image was scanned at a high resolution and digitally restored for color and clarity. Scans of the magazine pages are included in their original size and format; in addition, each image has been enlarged for young children to color, cut-out and play. Print these pages on cardstock paper for a fun craft project, an entertaining history lesson or to create an old-fashioned Christmas ornament.
