From early historical rarities so precious many collectors have not known of their existence, to popular culture icons, the paper doll collection of Shirley Fischer reflects the ardent pursuit of a passionate and intelligent collector. Shirley Fischer of Sylvania, Ohio was so distinguished in the paper doll field that in 2004, having collected paper dolls most of her adult life, she befittingly received the special award of Distinguished Paper Doll Ambassador at the annual Paper Doll Convention.
