  1. Thank you for sharing. I might have the issue of DOLL-E-GRAM in which this was published.

  2. Thanks Linda very much. This was done in 1985 before color printers and computers. It was done as a page in a coloring book. Thanks again.

  4. I have three paper dolls by LaVerne Hall. The Mary McLeod Bethune doll is about 15-inches tall. I have her doll BEADRA in my old blog, Mostly Paper Dolls. Thanks for posting for I have never seen this paper doll as a coloring page.

  5. I feel like such a dunce! Didn't realize LaVerne was the artist, but of course that's her signature on the doll!
