EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, taken from Frances H. Low's "Queen Victoria's Dolls" published in 1894 by George Newness in London, showcases two exquisitely crafted dolls representing two renowned 19th-century ballet dancers: Rosalie Taglioni and Caroline Brocard. Rosalie Taglioni, portrayed on the left, is dressed as she appeared in the ballet "La Resemblance," wearing a peasant cap adorned with gold pins. Taglioni was a child actress, singer, and dancer, best known for her innovative dancing style that emphasized grace and fluidity over technical precision. Her performance in "La Sylphide" revolutionized the world of ballet, making her a trailblazer for the art form. On the right, the doll of Caroline Brocard is dressed as Ninetta in "The Maid of Palaiseau." Brocard was a French ballerina who rose to fame in the 1830s and 1840s. She was known for her expressive and dramatic performances, particularly in the operetta "Masaniello," where she played the title role. These dolls, dressed in satin and silk outfits, were owned by young Princess Victoria, who was an avid collector of dolls. The dolls were likely made of wood and intricately detailed to resemble their real-life counterparts as closely as possible. The illustration, created by Alan Wright, captures the essence of these two iconic ballerinas and their impact on the world of dance during the Victorian era.
