EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming color plate, taken from Frances H. Low's "Queen Victoria's Dolls" published in 1894 by George Newness in London, captures a delightful scene of the Earl and Countess of Leicester, intricately dressed by a young Princess Victoria after the characters in the ballet "Kenilworth." The Earl and Countess are depicted as wooden dolls, with the Earl dressed in a richly textured velvet suit, complete with a golden crown and pearls, while the Countess wears a stunning satin and silk gown adorned with intricate floral patterns. The ballet "Kenilworth," which premiered in 1866, was based on Sir Walter Scott's novel of the same name and told the tragic love story of Amy Robsart, Lady Leicester, and her husband, the Earl of Leicester. In this scene, Mlle. Porphirin Brocard, a renowned ballet dancer of the time, danced the role of Amy Robsart. The Earl and Countess dolls were a popular collectible item during the Victorian era, and the intricacy of their outfits reflects the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the time. The illustration, created by Alan Wright, beautifully captures the elegance and charm of the dolls, transporting us back to a bygone era of grandeur and beauty. The young Princess Victoria, who was known for her love of dolls and toys, would have taken great pleasure in dressing her Earl and Countess of Leicester dolls in such intricate and detailed outfits, inspired by the ballet and the fashion of the time. This color plate is a testament to the enduring appeal of the ballet and the joy of play and imagination that it inspired in generations past.
