EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate depicts the wooden dolls of Miss Cawse, named Fatima and Cestra, gracefully assuming the roles of dancers in the comic opera "Azor and Zemira." Dressed by the young and fashion-forward Princess Victoria, these dolls embody the elegance and charm of the ballet world. Mlle Sylvie Leconte and Caroline Brocard, renowned ballerinas of the time, served as inspiration for the dolls' poses and costumes. The intricately detailed outfits reflect the opulence of Victorian fashion, with Fatima dressed in a vibrant satin ensemble and Cestra adorned in a silk gown. Porphirin and Zephyrine, two other dolls from the Miss Cawse collection, are also featured in the image, adding to the enchanting scene. The dolls' expressive faces and lifelike features capture the essence of the ballet dancers they represent, making this a cherished keepsake from the Victorian era. This beautiful color plate is an illustration by Alan Wright, taken from Frances H. Low's "Queen Victoria's Dolls," published by George Newness in London in 1894. The intricate details and rich colors of the illustration transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the dolls and the fashion of the era.
