This 7 in. vinyl Kewpie, 1991 by Jesco, wears her original outfit. She has five joints and is shown with an extra outfit. Kewpies made their first appearance in the Dec. 1909 issue of Ladies’ Home Journal. Illustrator Rose O’Neill created their drawings, stories, and poems. Most early Kewpies were bisque or celluloid. By 1913 they had composition heads and cloth bodies. Their name was derived from Cupids, the winged babies from Roman mythology.
