EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming color plate, titled "Dolls of Courtiers: Philippa, Countess of Jedburgh, and Duchess of Orleans," showcases two elegant wooden dolls dressed by the young Princess Victoria. The dolls, meticulously crafted to resemble real-life courtiers, are depicted wearing elaborate tea-tray hats, a fashionable accessory during the Victorian era. The Countess of Jedburgh's doll is dressed in a rich satin gown, adorned with intricate floral patterns and a high collar, reminiscent of the formal attire worn by noblewomen of the time. Her hat, also made of satin, features a tall, curved brim and a delicate net veil. The Duchess of Orleans' doll, on the other hand, is dressed in a stunning opera gown, complete with a voluminous silk skirt and an off-the-shoulder bodice. Her hat, equally impressive, is a smaller version of the popular tea-tray design, with a satin base and a delicate net overlay. This beautiful illustration, created by Alan Wright and published in Frances H. Low's "Queen Victoria's Dolls," offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian toys and the imaginative play of the young princess. The attention to detail in the dolls' clothing and accessories reflects the high standards of craftsmanship and the fashionable trends of the era. The Countess of Jedburgh and Duchess of Orleans were both prominent figures in the courts of Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Countess, also known as Juno, Countess of Roxburghe and Duchess of Dunbar and Mordaunt, was a Scottish noblewoman who married into the English nobility. The Duchess of Orleans was the eldest daughter of King Louis XII of France and Anne of Brittany and was known for her beauty and intelligence. This image, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a must-have for collectors of Victorian dolls, antique toys, and anyone interested in the fashion and culture of the Victorian era.
