Here's a site with some downloadable/ printable vintage paper dolls. While most of these can be dated post-1900, some of them closer to the turn of the century might be of some interest, including the one I have shared here.
This one (click the picture to enlarge) includes a variety of fun costumes including a Santa Claus outfit and a fireman uniform (complete with hat). it was mostly for the fireman outfit that I wanted to share this. I also like the football uniform (it's amazing what people used to wear while playing football, though I guess it wasn't quite as violent a contact sport back then as it is now ~ violent, but the men playing it were a lot smaller and less likely to do as serious damage at these days).
it is very hopeful that I will work on some original paper dolls this weekend. In the meantime, visit the link above to enjoy more examples of turn-of-the-century dolls!
