Here is more original art for a paper doll book that was never produced, this time by Mary Murray. Ultimately, Charlot Byj created a book on this theme for Merrill in 1949.
Mark Woodcock says he never found any clothes for this particular version. I initially posted this item as a mystery, but Mark found the name of the artist in his mother's files.
Does anyone have any further information about Mary Murray? And thank you Mark for these delightful pictures!
I figured it out. The artist is Mary Murray. She did the "Monday to Sunday" story book for Merrill but never did a published paper doll book for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark! I'll have to look up more of Mary Murray's work. Adorable faces.
DeleteIf you are still looking for information on Mary Murray I might be able to help. She was a cousin of my mother's though these threw me since they do not have the same style of the charcoal and watercolor I have of hers from 1919.
