  • Racine: Whitman, 1932
By Bezucha, Robert
Racine: Whitman, 1932. Very good plus.. Rare and unused Whitman toy book featuring a charming trio of paper rooms in '30s style, perfect settings for paper doll drama. Published during what Anne Tolstoi Wallach calls "the Great Years" of paper dolls (48), LET'S PLAY HOUSE offers three paper settings for the profusion of dolls available to children in this period. This title offers a glimpse inside a 1930s middle-class house, complete with toys and furnishings for the dolls to interact with. LET'S PLAY HOUSE is rare in any condition, let alone as complete and bright as this copy. 19.25'' x 12.5''. Original color pictorial wrappers with die-cut punch-out elements. Illustrated in color. [4] leaves of die-cut punch-out elements, printed one side only. Wrappers with light edgewear, small pieces bit dislodged to rear but still attached; one tiny piece has come loose from front, but is still present. Interior clean and bright.
