Bird Scrap Heads for Making Paper Dolls

       The Victorians manufactured many die cuts for paper doll making, in fact, countless variations of them. Some of these were of humans and some of animals. I will compile a small number of these on this post as I find them. The first two scraps below are of birds wearing dressy hats with feathers and flowers. At the bottom is a Victorian child dressed in winter costume, holding a morning dove in her gloved hands. Student may print them out, cut and paste them onto cardboard to create some unusual paper dolls . . .
