EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, titled "Dolls of courtier Lady Newport and ballerina Leontine," showcases two exquisitely crafted wooden dolls dressed by the young Princess Victoria. The doll on the left represents Lady Newport, a courtier, elegantly attired in a rich satin gown and a lace collar, while the doll on the right is Mlle. Leontine Heberle, a ballet dancer, dressed in a graceful silk tutu and a flowing tulle skirt. The dolls were inspired by an illustration created by Alan Wright for Frances H. Low's book "Queen Victoria's Dolls," published in London in 1894 by George Newness. The intricate details of the dolls' outfits reflect the Victorian era's fashion trends and the high society's love for elaborate clothing and accessories. The courtier Lady Newport's dress features a bold floral pattern, while the ballet dancer Mlle. Leontine Heberle's tutu is adorned with delicate roses and ribbons. The dolls' lifelike expressions and intricate details, such as the lace collars, beads, and sequins, add to their allure and charm. The color plate provides a glimpse into the world of play and creativity that Princess Victoria enjoyed during her childhood. The dolls were not just toys but a means of imagination and self-expression, allowing her to explore various roles and personas. This enchanting image is a testament to the enduring appeal of dolls as objects of beauty, art, and nostalgia.
