Papier Mache Doll Makers 1760+

 

Papier mâché, carton moulé, carton pâte or holz-masse are all terms describing a type of composition material made from paper sheets or paper pulp mixed with paste, oil, resin or other material to form a strong material that was pressed together. 

 

Earliest papier mache dolls were individually handmade, by the mid 1800s pressure mold processes made it possible for dolls to be mass produced.
