History - \"Kewpie is a brand of dolls and figurines that were initially conceived as comic strip characters by artist and writer Rose O\'Neill. The illustrated cartoons, appearing as baby cupid characters, began to gain popularity after the publication of O\'Neill\'s comic strips in 1909, and O\'Neill began to illustrate and sell paper doll versions of the Kewpies. The characters were first produced as bisque dolls in Waltershausen, Germany beginning in 1912, and became extremely popular in the early twentieth century.\"
\"Rose Cecil O\'Neill (June 25, 1874 – April 6, 1944) was an American illustrator, artist, and writer who created the popular comic characters, Kewpies. After the growing popularity of O\'Neill\'s Kewpie cartoons upon their publication in 1909, the characters were made into bisque dolls in 1912 by a German toy company, and later in composition material and celluloid. They were wildly popular in the early twentieth century, and are considered to be one of the first mass-marketed toys in America.\"
