EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a wooden doll dressed by the young Princess Victoria, depicting the elegant courtier Lady Maria Arnold. The doll, a cherished possession of the royal family, is captured in an exquisite moment of play and imagination. Lady Maria Arnold, a historical figure, was a courtier and later became Viscountess Stuart Wortley by marriage to the 1st Earl of Wharncliffe. The doll, dressed in an intricately designed outfit, is a testament to the refined taste and attention to detail that characterized the Victorian era. The satin and silk garments, reminiscent of the opulent attire worn by the aristocracy of the time, are meticulously arranged on the doll, evoking a sense of grandeur and sophistication. The illustration, created by Alan Wright, is a color plate taken from Frances H. Low's book "Queen Victoria's Dolls," published in London by George Newness in 1894. The book, a collection of color plates depicting various dolls owned by Queen Victoria and her family, offers a unique glimpse into the personal lives of the royal family and the Victorian era's obsession with toys and dolls as a form of entertainment and artistic expression. The wooden doll of Lady Maria Arnold, with its intricate clothing and historical significance, serves as a fascinating reminder of the rich cultural heritage and the enduring allure of the Victorian era. This image, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, invites us to explore the world of Victorian dolls and the stories they tell, offering a glimpse into the past and the lives of the people who once lived there.
