Subject and Association DescriptionThis booklet contains a pattern for a "golliwog" design, a racist caricature.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golliwog:
The golliwog, golliwogg or golly is a doll-like character – created by white cartoonist and author Florence Kate Upton – that appeared in children's books in the late 19th century, usually depicted as a type of rag doll. It was reproduced, both by commercial and hobby toy-makers, as a children's toy called the "golliwog", a portmanteau of golly and polliwog, and had great popularity in the UK and Australia into the 1970s.
