I have been collecting paperdolls since 1980  when I was re-introduced to one of my favorite childhood pastimes by a paper doll artist, Sandra Vanderpool. My favorite paperdolls are early advertising, modern artist and magazine paperdolls. I rarely collect anything later than 1940 except the modern artist paperdolls. On this page, I am including antique paperdolls that you can download, cut out and play with.

A paperdoll that you can download and print. She is one of sixteen paperdolls in a series originally offered by Lyons Coffee circa 1900. If you would like a 8.5" x 11" print on high quality paper please send me $2.00. Half the cost will go to the Historic Highlandlake Historical Society. The remaining amount will go to cover the cost of printing and postage.
