Title

1913 Farmington NH Doll Postcard

Description

A colorized 1913 Farmington, NH doll postcard with text and image. The text of the card reads, "the girls play with dolls in Farmington, NH," and " I know a doll there that wants to play with you." The two sentences are separated by a bolded " Farmington NH,'" which is placed in front of a blue triangular flag. The image of the post card is a drawing of a young Dutch girl in stereotypical, old world, traditional dress, shoes, and traditional head covering, the Volendam. She is holding a doll in her hands that resembles her. The back of the card is used and has a name and address and a simple statement, "to cousin Laura from cousin Grace."
