Two pocket portfolio with a tipped in laser printed illustration on front cover; contains a set of black and white and color laser prints of drawings of dolls and floral patterned backgrounds. Some of the prints are housed loose in one of the pockets, while others are tipped in or attached from the top edge to the actual portfolio. "This book was created as part of the Artist's Book Exchange in the Spring of 1993. The drawings and designs are of four dolls manufactured in the early 1940s...Each doll is clothed in her original dress and stamped, 'Story Book Doll USA'."--Colophon. This explanation is followed by a short story (fictional or non-fictional?) about the provenance of the dolls as having belonged to a girl named Anne, who had held onto the dolls and their original packaging, into adulthood.
