The History of Little Fanny : Exemplified in a Series of Figures.

Title
The History of Little Fanny : Exemplified in a Series of Figures.
Description
This pamphlet with printed paper‑doll cards is a facsimile of the first commercially produced paper‑doll kit. Paper crafts used to make toys and other novelties have existed for thousands of years, but printing made it possible to produce and distribute them commercially, and produced a growing market of toys and books for children. This facsimile was published by bibliographer Robin Alston’s Scolar Press, which produced low‑cost editions of important English works that were often scarce and survived in small numbers.
