Paper dolls from the biblical stories at Easter time

I remember at Easter time, films with biblical themes were always shown on television. 

The Bible stories have always captivated me. 

I still keep my favourite book of biblical stories from my childhood illustrated in detail by Giovanni Caselli (He is a well known illustrator noted for his work regarding the classical world and its literature, art, symbol and myths... He lives in Italy).

The biblical story that perhaps most enchanted me was that of Samson and Delilah (1949) since I saw, as a child, the film by Cecil B. DeMille, starring the beautiful Hedy Lamarr and Victor Mature.

A film with a beautiful photograph and a magnificent wardrobe by Edith Head, which Mr. Tom Tierney paid tribute to in Edith Head Paper Dolls' award winning fashions, perhaps one of his latest books and one of my favourites because of the style change. verified in his last works. In this book, we find a Delilah / Hedy Lamarr paper doll that I share here. Maybe one day I will draw my version of the paper dolls from the Bible stories.

From biblical times there are other paper dolls that I would like to share here... Do you know these books?

 

Have a nice Easter, stay at home, stay well!

Na época da Páscoa, os filmes com temas bíblicos eram sempre exibidos na televisão. As histórias da Bíblia sempre me cativaram. Eu ainda guardo um livro de histórias biblicas da minha infância ilustrado detalhadamente por Giovanni Caselli.A história bíblica que talvez mais me encantou foi a de "Sansão e Dalila" (1949) desde que vi, quando criança, o filme de Cecil B. DeMille, protagonizado pela belissima Hedy Lamarr e por Victor Mature. Um filme com uma fotografia lindissima e um magnífico guarda-roupa de Edith Head, que o Sr. Tom Tierney prestou homenagem em Award-Winning Fashions of Edith Head Paper Dolls, talvez um de seus últimos livros que eu mais gosto devido à mudança de estilo verificado em seus últimos trabalhos. Neste livro, encontramos uma boneca de papel Delilah / Hedy Lamarr que eu compartilho aqui. Talvez um dia eu desenhe minha versão de paper dolls das histórias bíblicas.
