EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, titled "Dolls of the Children of the Earl and Countess of Leicester," presents a charming glimpse into the Victorian past. The image, taken from an illustration by Alan Wright, was published in Frances H. Low's book "Queen Victoria's Dolls" in 1894 by George Newness in London. The scene showcases an exquisite collection of wooden dolls, meticulously dressed and arranged on a rich satin coverlet. Each doll represents the children of the Earl and Countess of Leicester, who were prominent figures at the English court during Queen Victoria's reign. The Earl of Leicester was a courtier, while the Countess, born Isabella Poulteney, was a lady-in-waiting to the Queen. The dolls, made of wood, are dressed in intricate Victorian outfits, reflecting the fashionable trends of the time. Princess Victoria, the future monarch, is depicted in the foreground, lovingly tending to her pet dog and an ivory doll, possibly representing one of her brothers or sisters. The attention to detail in the dolls' clothing and accessories is remarkable, with each piece carefully crafted to replicate the authentic Victorian attire. The satin coverlet, adorned with intricate embroidery, adds an air of elegance and luxury to the scene. The soft, silken fabric contrasts beautifully with the wooden dolls, creating a visually appealing tableau. This image offers a unique insight into the past, allowing us to imagine the world of the Victorian court and the playful pastimes of its young inhabitants. The dolls, with their intricate outfits and lifelike features, serve as a testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of the era.
