EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, taken from Frances H. Low's esteemed publication "Queen Victoria's Dolls" by George Newnes in London, 1894, showcases two beautifully crafted wooden dolls representing the renowned figures Mme Eugenie Dahaly and Mlle. Augusta from the classic ballet "La Bayadère." Dressed in exquisite costumes, these dolls were meticulously outfitted by none other than the young Princess Victoria herself. Mme Eugenie Dahaly, a celebrated French ballerina, graced the stage with her extraordinary talent and grace during the mid-19th century. Her portrayal of the lead role in "La Bayadère" was a testament to her artistry and dedication to the world of dance. Mlle. Augusta, a ballet dancer of equal merit, can be seen alongside Mme Eugenie Dahaly in this charming depiction. Both dolls are dressed in the rich and vibrant costumes that were customary for the ballet, with Mme Eugenie Dahaly wearing a stunning satin and silk ensemble adorned with intricate beadwork and embroidery. Mlle. Augusta, on the other hand, is dressed in a resplendent outfit, complete with a flowing skirt and ornate headpiece. The presence of courtiers, including the elegant Lady Collorowsky and the noble Lady Pauline, adds to the regal atmosphere of this enchanting scene. The color plate, an illustration by the skilled artist Alan Wright, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian-era toys and the passion for the arts that permeated the court of Queen Victoria. This image not only showcases the intricate detail and craftsmanship of the dolls but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and artistic milieu of the Victorian era. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the ballet and the enduring fascination with the world of dolls and play.
