Small French celluloid lady doll

This little French celluloid lady is marked SNF France.  She measures 13 cm high and is jointed at arms and legs.  She's of the souvenir type but with quite a fancy outfit.  It is believed that many of the little souvenir dolls were given to dressmakers to dress and the maker of this doll's outfit has even labelled her dress - Marie Laure, Paris.  With her little ringlets, fancy hat and parasol, she looks a bit like something out of Gone With the Wind!  She's probably one of the later celluloid dolls made in the 1930s-40s.
