EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, taken from Frances H. Low's "Queen Victoria's Dolls" published in 1894 by George Newness in London, showcases three renowned ballerinas of the 19th century - Mlle. Proche Giubelei, Mlle. Pauline Duvernay, and Mlle. Euphrosine Ancilin - transformed into exquisite dolls. The dolls are dressed in intricately detailed costumes inspired by their most famous ballet roles. Mlle. Proche Giubelei is depicted as a doll representing the character of Marie from "La Sylphide," an iconic Romantic ballet where she danced the title role. Her doll costume is adorned with a flowing tulle skirt, a bodice embellished with sequins and beads, and a delicate headpiece. Mlle. Pauline Duvernay's doll is dressed as the Princess Aurora from "The Sleeping Beauty," a classic fairy tale ballet. Her outfit includes a satin bodice, a long, flowing skirt, and a magnificent headdress adorned with roses and pearls. Lastly, Mlle. Euphrosine Ancilin's doll is dressed as the Swedish ballerina in "The Bayadere," a ballet that showcases the exoticism and allure of the Far East. Her costume features a vibrant red bodice, a long, flowing skirt, and intricate gold embroidery. These dolls were dressed by young Princess Victoria, adding a touch of royal elegance and charm to the already stunning creations. The illustration is by Alan Wright, whose skillful rendering brings the dolls to life, capturing the essence of these legendary ballerinas and their iconic roles.
