Reproduction Vintage Gene Autry Paper Doll Book

Debuted 2001

The Autry Museum owns a wonderful collection of ephemera from the golden years of silver and small screen cowboys. These paper doll books were reproduced from books in that collection. They have heavy paper covers and glossy inside pages for the most colorful images. The paper "dolls" are on the front or back to be cut out. We partnered on this project with the Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Museum and Terrie Davis (Gail Davis' daughter).
