Shirley Temple Paper Dolls and Dresses, 1937

During the 1930s, Shirley Temple captured the hearts of millions of moviegoers, providing a welcome respite from the harsh realities of the Great Depression. Saalfield Publishing Company, of Akron, Ohio, published ten different Shirley Temple paper doll sets between 1934 and 1942. The paper outfits in the book are copies of costumes Shirley Temple wore in her motion pictures.
