I have always had an ambition to create my own paper doll environment (never so ambitious to want to build it in three dimensions, but have for years conceived of a flat surface "house" with various rooms and props). Probably made a few as a child, but none of them survived, alas. I remember very distinctly drawing and coloring tiny little food items and cutting them out. One of these days maybe I will attempt another. Looking at these examples lately certainly is inspiring!
Here are a couple of pictures from another amazing 19th century doll house environments (these are also authentic from the period!). Both feature typical McLaughlin dolls of the late 1900s. To see a couple more "rooms" in this amazing collection, check out A Home for Dolly.
