Here is something you are not likely to see again. It is the first I have seen and I have never heard of this poster before. Dated 1942, it features Terry and the Dragonlady with cutout clothing to dress them. These kinds of cutout dolls were very popular for many decades and I remember seeing them when I was growing up. I have some prints from later versions of this with the Dragonlady in a slightly different pose. I know this is an extremely rare item and I'd be surprised to find out more than 3 or 4 of these are still in existance. It will soon be framed and hanging on my wall.

They're actually know as "paper dolls". Is this a printed poster, or the original art for the poster?

A printed poster. I suspect the original art is done in pieces and was likely used only for this. I'd love to find them.
