Tom Tierney’s paper doll collections are the gold standard for costume historians and collectors, and this one delivers exactly the detail he’s known for: a full Victorian-era family — Mary Lou, John, Bradley, Annie Laurie, and little Eula — dressed in meticulously researched 1890s fashion. The wardrobe includes a man’s tailored plaid suit and blue serge sack suit, a lavender silk taffeta gown, glen-plaid boy’s knickerbockers, lace-trimmed white satin, fur-trimmed coats, and a full range of period accessories: wide-brimmed hats, skimmers, derbies, a silver-headed ebony walking stick, ribbons, and bow ties. Historical notes throughout add context on the actual clothing styles of the day, making this as much a costume history reference as a plaything. In like-new, uncut condition, it’s ready for a collector, historian, or paper doll enthusiast who wants pristine material to work with.
