About This Item
Paris, 1930. A charming "album-jouet" ephemeral work using the dressing of cut-out dolls both to amuse young girls, and sneakily to educate them in the correct attire for study and school.
In completely fine condition this charming and ephemeral work tells the story of Rouquette a gorgeous little girl who is beautifully dressed by her nanny. She and her sisters, messy Micheline and naughty Colette have to stay inside because of the rain, so they do some lessons causing lots of trouble.
Unusually, on the fold out page all the cut out pieces provided to dress the girls and decorate their classroom are still intact; a rare children's pamphlet and a stylish example of juvenile Parisian fashion. Tall booklet, 327 x 160 mm; 10 pp. (rather strangely numbered, but numbered nonetheless); two of the pages comprising a fold-out of coloured cut-outs, the back cover a further fold-out with coloured illustrations partly for cutting out; reverse of back cover a further page of coloured illustrations, the front cover a depiction (signed Loyeux) of the nursery scene; in excellent condition.
