EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, titled "Dolls of Courtiers Viscountess Stuart and Lady Sedley," showcases two exquisitely dressed wooden dolls, believed to have been owned and played with by the young Princess Victoria in the late 1830s. The dolls, representing the Viscountess Stuart and Lady Sedley, were intricately dressed in the fashion of the day, with the Viscountess's doll adorned in a stunning satin gown and the Lady Sedley's doll wearing a elegant silk outfit. The dolls were part of a larger collection of royal dolls that Princess Victoria received as gifts from her mother, the Duchess of Kent, and her uncle, the Duke of Clarence, who later became King William IV. The collection also included dolls representing other prominent figures of the court, such as the Duchess of Maria Arnold and the Earl of Derwentwater. The illustration of the dolls was created by Alan Wright, and was published in Frances H. Low's book "Queen Victoria's Dolls," which was released in 1894 by George Newnes in London. The book provided a detailed account of the history and provenance of each doll in the collection, as well as illustrations of their various outfits and accessories. The dolls served as a source of entertainment and companionship for the young Princess Victoria, who was known to be an avid collector and lover of toys. The intricate details of their clothing and accessories reflect the high fashion and social customs of the Victorian era, providing a glimpse into the world of the royal court and the life of one of history's most beloved monarchs.
