Paper dolls are cut-out figures made of paper that can be dressed up in different outfits and accessories, and are toys that promotes creativity and imagination. The "Legionary Doll" was part of a tradition of paper dolls popular among Spanish girls from the early 20th century to the 1970s. The paper doll is an example of Spanish nationalist propaganda aimed at children during the Rif War, a conflict fought from 1921 to 1926 between the occyping colonial forces of Spain (and later France) and Berber tribes in northern Morocco. The doll reflects the racism and violence of the time, and stands in stark contrast to modern values of inclusion and respect. In a 2020 interview, Spanish toy collector Ignacio Martínez commented on the historical significance of this paper doll, pointing out how the doll illustrates how Spanish society has evolved since the 1920s, and how such depictions would be unthinkable today: (...) Another paper doll, for example, is the "Legionnaire Marquita". It predates Mariquita Pérez, as it was made shortly after the landing of Alhucemas in 1925. The drawing is inspired by the dolls that Grace Drayton made for Campbell's Soup, but the girl, in one of her hands, holds the head of a decapitated Moorish child. That paper doll speaks to us of a very specific historical moment in our country, but also of how society has evolved. Nobody today would think of doing something like that. |
