The 1994 Charlotte A Stylish Lady of the Old South Paper Doll by Richard Rusnock is a rare niche vintage paper doll set that includes clothing and is part of the 1850s paper doll theme. Perfect for fans of paper dolls and vintage illustrations, this limited edition piece is a unique addition to any collection.
Grok says, "1994 Charlotte paper dolls (reproduction of an 1854 handmade example from the collection of Richard Rusnock) appear to be a niche or limited collector’s item with very little publicly available documentation online. Searches across web sources, sale references, paper-doll history sites, and collector resources turn up no detailed listings, photos of the exact set, publisher information, number of sheets/outfits, original sale price, or current market values specifically matching this description. Richard Rusnock is not a widely documented major paper-doll collector in readily accessible records (unlike more prominent figures in the field), so the original 1854 handmade piece was likely from a private collection that was reproduced in 1994, possibly for a small run aimed at enthusiasts of antique or folk-art paper dolls."
