1938 Whitman Paper Doll Book

In 1938, Whitman Publishing Co. produced a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Paper Dolls oversized book, #970. Contains a total of four leaves plus covers; measures approximately 11.5" x 17". The princess and dwarf dolls were printed on the front and back.

While the Seven Dwarfs are identical to those seen in the 1938 boxed set, Snow White is slightly different.

Note the perforated edges around the doll illustration.

1938 Snow White Paper Doll Boxed Set

In an earlier blog entry, we saw the 1938 Whitman boxed set of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs paper dolls. As the name suggests, it included the princess and all of the dwarfs, plus 10 dresses, jackets, animals, and accessories.

The set below is a condensed version which features the same Snow White doll, but no dwarfs. It comes with five similar dress poses, though the color schemes have been changed. "Copyrighted 1938 by Walt Disney Enterprises..."

Palmolive Paper Doll Cards

Snow White Card #12

Issued in Belgium by Palmolive Soap, this Snow White paper doll cut-out set of 12 collector cards dates from circa 1939. Each measures approximately 4.75" x 6.25" (120mm x 160mm). All of the characters including the forest animals are printed in multicolored illustrations on regular cardstock. The copyright on the front reads "PAR AUT. WALT DISNEY--MICKEY MOUSE S.A."

The backside of each card is identical except for the numbers (1-12). The text is written in both French and Dutch and describes the set of paper doll cut-outs.

In addition, the back of the card mentions a board game called "Villa Palmolive" which was purchased separately from retailers. It cost one Franc. Apparently, the game was not initially designed for the Snow White figures but was now being promoted in conjunction with the paper dolls.

The cards came packaged not inside the actual soap bar wrappers but instead as a complete set of 12 inside this Palmolive envelope. You received the cards when you purchased a special pack of 12 soap bars. "You'll get a card with every 'bar' of Palmolive..."
