Papier Maché Dolls:

Papier Maché dolls are among the earliest types of commercially manufactured dolls. They were made by pressing together sheets of paper with wood or rag fibers added for strength.

By the early 1800s German manufacturers were mass-producing papier maché dolls. They used molds and a high-pressure process to form doll parts. The papier maché production process gradually evolved into the process used to produce composition dolls.
