Emily Blackburn
a Bicentennial Lady
I made Emily in 1976 using a pattern from Edith Flack Ackley's book Dolls to Make for Fun and Profit. She has a wire armature. I also made her several different outfits and accessories. She was my homemade version of a French fashion doll.
Emily is reading her diary which was written in 1976.
She also has a bible and a photo album
with photos of her friends and our family.
