I was surprised to see this in our Dover publications 'Thomas Jefferson and his family' paper doll book. I'm not sure if it was common practice then or just the artists take.
It is supposed to be Martha Jefferson Randolph nursing her new son. It was unexpected and made me very curious to the times. If it is true to what she has done, was she being a racey woman? Or just being like the other mothers? Interesting.
