This pane of 15 stamps each pictures a different American doll or pair of dolls. This set represents the first time photographs were used instead of painting or drawings for a large U.S. set with face-different stamps. Dolls were originally supposed to be the subject of a block of four, but the number grew to 15. The pane design was first seen at the regional conference of the United Federation of Doll Clubs on October 4, 1996. The first day ceremony took place at the annual convention in Anaheim, California.
