Doll representing a white baby, owned by African-American children. Dolls representing black children were manufactured at this period, but were often 'mammy doll' stereotypes. It is wearing a white cotton dress, two knit socks, a cotton undergarment and a knit cap. The dress is fastened with a safety pin and the cap ties with a green ribbon. The doll has blue glass eyes, rosy lips and cheeks, and short brown hair coming out from underneath the bonnet.
