Costumes of the Country

From The Sophisticated Traveler, The New York Times Magazine, March 12, 1989. Artist: Tim Lewis. A paper doll that can be male or female, depending on costume. Very clever!

The art and layout remind me of the paper doll series by the artist Alajalov that ran in Vanity Fair in the 1930s (see the Alajalov that I posted Jan. 31 to compare). Remember to left click for a larger picture.
