An antique hand-painted paper dollhouse book containing multiple pages of watercolor interior room scenes rendered in detail, intended for use with paper dolls. The rooms depict various spaces within elegant homes including bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, parlors, grand staircases, and sitting rooms, furnished with beds, chairs, vanities, tables, draperies, rugs, portraits, and decorative objects. Some rooms include painted figures such as servants and gentlemen. Several pages feature doors that open to reveal adjacent rooms. The compositions incorporate collaged elements including cut-out printed figures pasted into the painted scenes. A handwritten note within the book provides instructions for where dolls and dresses can be stored within the pages and lists a price of $12, indicating the book was handmade for sale. Nearly all pages are disconnected from each other and from the binding, but the individual pages are in very good condition for their age
