EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, taken from Frances H. Low's "Queen Victoria's Dolls" published in 1894 by George Newness in London, offers a delightful glimpse into the world of Victorian-era toy dolls and the imaginative play of Princess Victoria. The scene features two beautifully crafted wooden dolls, representing the courtiers Sir William Arnold and Lady Nina Morton, seated at a toy table and chair. Sir William Arnold, dressed in a red velvet suit and white wig, holds a fan, while Lady Nina Morton, elegantly dressed in a satin gown and feathered headdress, gracefully poses with a fan in her hand. In the background, we see a ballet dancer, Mme. Eugenie Dahaly, dressed as the famous ballerina Giselle in "The Bayadere," and a young girl, Mlle. Augusta La Bayadere, dressed as a courtier, admiring the scene. The intricate details of the dolls' outfits, from the silken fabrics to the beadwork and embroidery, reflect the high fashion and elegance of the time. The illustration, created by the talented Alan Wright, captures the whimsy and charm of Victorian-era doll play. Princess Victoria, who was known for her love of dolls, would have spent hours dressing and arranging her dolls in elaborate scenes, allowing her to escape into a world of fantasy and imagination. This color plate offers a window into that world, transporting us back in time to a simpler era of play and creativity.
