Abraham Lincoln and His Family Paper Dolls
Welcome and thank you for viewing my item!
The item offered is a paper doll book entitled Abraham Lincoln and His Family. Here is a wonderful paper doll tribute to one of the greatest American presidents and his family, a meticulously detailed recreation of the mid 19th century clothing worn by Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary Todd Lincoln and three of their four sons; Robert Todd, William Wallace and Thomas. Their second child, Edward Baker died at the age of four and is not pictured here.
Included are 5 dolls and 32 authentic costumes including the white straw hat, worn during the Lincoln-Douglas debates; a formal cutaway jacket with claw-hammer tails, white tie and vest, the familiar stovepipe hat and the suit Lincoln wore when he gave the Gettysburg Address, including the legendary fringed shawl over his shoulders and more.
The Mary Todd Lincoln clothing shown includes an evening gown of gold silk, trimmed in gold lace, satin bows and braid, a walking ensemble of red, gold, and turquoise brocaded silk with a black velvet vest and shawl, a military-style cape with gold boucle epaulettes atop a navy silk traveling dress and others. Also, included are outfits for the boys. These and many other colorful ensembles recall the clothing and style of the first family in the 1860s. Paper doll enthusiasts, lovers of Americana and period fashion, and students of American history will find much inspiration and enjoyment in this realistic and historically accurate collection.
