EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, taken from an illustration by Alan Wright in Frances H. Low's "Queen Victoria's Dolls," published in 1894 by George Newness in London, showcases a wooden doll meticulously dressed as Lady Maria Arnold, a prominent courtier and housekeeper in the household of Queen Victoria. The young Princess Victoria is depicted in the background, engaged in the playful activity of dressing her doll, a beloved pastime during her formative years. Lady Maria Arnold, dressed in an elegant outfit, is shown standing before a mirror, adjusting her lace collar and smoothing down her satin skirt. Her attire is a faithful replica of the fashionable garments worn by the real-life Lady Maria Arnold during the Victorian era. The intricate details of the doll's clothing, from the delicate lace trimmings to the satin fabric, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the toy dresser. The presence of a toy dresser, or a person responsible for dressing and maintaining the dolls of the royal family, was a common feature in Victorian households. The dolls were not only cherished playthings but also served as a means of instilling the values and customs of the time in young girls. The Princess's engagement with the doll, as she carefully chooses and dresses it in the latest fashion, reflects the importance of fashion and etiquette in Victorian society. The color plate, with its rich hues and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the world of the Victorian royal court and the role of dolls in the daily lives of the royal family. The wooden doll, dressed as Lady Maria Arnold, stands as a testament to the enduring fascination with the royal family and the fashion of the Victorian era.
