Paper dressing dolls were developed by the firm of Raphael Tuck in the late 19th century, and were probably based on the paper doll books of S & J Fuller from the early 19th century.
The dolls could be stood upright with a built-in support. Their many interchangeable costumes provided hours of pleasure.

They enjoyed huge popularity and are believed to have been played with by the grandchildren of Queen Victoria.
