Antique Toy Paper Puppet Circa 1860. French Paper Puppet Imagerie Pellerin COLOMBINE (Pantin) #1344, Circa 1860, Collectible, Printed in France, French Puppet or Paper Doll- Highly Collectible

Colombine is a comic servant character from the Commedia dell'Arte. Additional text: 'Imagerie Pellerin' & 'Imagerie D'Epinal No. 1344'.
Made by the Imagerie Pellerin (Imagery Of Epinal) in Epinal, France. The company became famous across the world when they decided to embark on the adventure of paper theatres. Antique Jumping Jacks have been produced for children for hundreds of years, but during the 18th century, this unusual toy reached its height of popularity in France. Famous artists designed these delightful pantins and members of the French court competed with each other for the largest collection.

Pellerin's sheets, like the rest of his products, were often sold by peddlers selling them throughout the small villages. They were intended to be cut out, glued on to cardstock and move like a marionette or "jumping jack". These prints are highly sought after by antique paper doll, puppet & French print collectors.

Wonderful framed for Home or Office Decor, makes a much treasured Gift. Also wonderful to scan it and print so children can enjoy cutting out the puppet and putting on a puppet show!

NOTE To style this paper doll as a jumping jack simply cut out and attach using brads. If you need the brads let me know and I'll ship a set at no extra charge.

Measures 15 1/2" X 11 1/2"
Condition Excellent, Please review all photos as they are part of the description. The back is clean with no marks has a bit of toning from age.

Feel free to message me with any questions, requests or OFFERS.
