44. The Hepburn Girls' Paper Doll Play House. Two volumes. Handmade in the late 19th century circa 1890. 100<br />
pages. Oblong folios, 16 x 14 inches. String tied paper scrap<strong>book</strong>s. Good but original acidic paper is crumbling at edges<br />
where unreinforced by additions. These two unique volumes are assembled by a mother for her daughters using cheap<br />
scrap<strong>book</strong>s resulting in 26 single page room tableaus and 37 double-page rooms. The images are made from high<br />
quality wall paper, clippings from magazines and simple original colored drawings. Many of the floors are made with<br />
realistic wood-grained paper. Nearly all page surfaces are covered with such glued additions, which have effectively<br />
stabilized the bad paper bases. The rooms are very carefully conceived and must have cost their creator hundreds of<br />
hours. They are stunning to behold. Must be seen. RHEPBUR00tw $400<br />
