Product Details

Embrace 1970s style with this rare, uncut vintage "Lydia" paper doll book. The textured, neutral-toned front cover showcases a beautiful illustration of Lydia singing into a retro microphone. She sports a chic afro, geometric hoop earrings, a vibrant orange and blue neck scarf, and a lace-up brown corset top. The top right corner retains its original 59¢ price marking. This authentic item is an official "A Whitman® Book" copyrighted in MCMLXXVII (1977) by Western Publishing Company, Inc. out of Racine, Wisconsin. The back cover features the full-length Lydia doll clad in a geometric-patterned orange, blue, and white two-piece swimsuit. It includes her uncut cardboard stand assembly strip. This clean, unused vintage item is a phenomenal addition for collectors of mid-century black Americana toys, 1970s fashion ephemera, or classic Whitman memorabilia.
