Two girls playing dolls, 1890s

   I'm not usually one to care about fashion, or, really, even notice it too much. But the dress and little boots on the girl with the braids drew my attention...and then I saw that adorable little pram! I would have *loved* one of those when I was little. (Or now...just saying!)

   This is from a book called "A Christmas Box of Pretty Stories". The artist is unknown to me; even the authors of the stories here go uncredited. All I can say for sure is that it was published by McLoughlin Bros. in New York, probably in the 1890s. The same image also appears in "The Book of Dollies" by Mary E. Gellie, published in 1890.
