Sister Prue as a Bride, 1910

 This is part of a series of "Polly's Paper Playmates" that ran as a supplement to the Baltimore American, and possibly other newspapers as well. Sister Prue as a Bride was published in the November 27, 1910 issue of the Baltimore American. 

Similar to the Boston Herald Lady, these paper dolls are a window on fashion history, society and the newspaper business more than 100 years ago.
