'Sanchico-Panza' paper doll
Published between 1920 and 1930
Biblioteca Nacional de España, Madrid
 

Paper dolls sold by the Librería Pueyo at 6 Arenal Street, Madrid. This doll is of a child with outfits reflecting traditional Castilian peasant dress with loose shirts, wide trousers, woven leg bindings, simple hats, and a donkey as a companion. It taps into the period’s taste for romanticised countryside imagery and light popular entertainment in the years before the upheavals that reshaped Spain in the 1930s.
