The History of Little Fanny, Exemplified in a Series of Figures, was first published in 1810 by S. & J. Fuller. The work has been attributed to Amelia Troward. It included what is thought to be the first commercially popular paper doll. It told a story in verse, centered on the character represented by the paper doll. The character wore a specific outfit in each episode of the verse; thus, as the book was read, the doll was supposed to be dressed in the appropriate attire. Fanny is at first an 'idle' girl whose chief activity is playing with her dolls. When her mother refuses to accompany her to the park, she escapes with her maid and is soon robbed of her clothes. She appears next as a beggar girl and slowly works her way out of poverty and into different outfits until she is able to return to her mother. In the end, Fanny has learned her lesson and appears reading a book instead of playing with a doll.

Manuscript version of The History of Little Fanny, likely in the hand of T. M. Hobart, who may have created it for an unidentified family member. Includes seven cut-out paper doll costumes executed in watercolor, originally housed in a paper pocket inside the front cover. The costumes appear to have been copied from the 1830 edition of the printed work. Accompanied by a note, in an unidentified hand, concerning the Hobart family.
