EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate depicts an enchanting scene of three elegant wooden dolls, dressed in exquisite ballet costumes, once owned by the young Princess Victoria. The dolls represent the famous ballet dancers Sylvie Leconte, Brocard, and Zephyrine Galebstie. The intricately detailed outfits of the dolls mirror the grace and sophistication of their real-life counterparts, who were renowned for their graceful performances at the French Opera. The scene is set in the opulent surroundings of the Newport Court, where the young Princess Victoria, known for her love of dolls and toys, would often play and dress her collection. The dolls, dressed in satin and silk, are shown in the act of performing a ballet dance, with Sylvie Leconte, portrayed as the lead dancer, poised in a graceful arabesque position. Mlle. Brocard and Mlle. Zephyrine Galebstie are seen in supporting roles, each holding a pose that showcases their nimble footwork and fluid movements. The dolls were illustrated by Alan Wright and featured in Frances H. Low's book "Queen Victoria's Dolls," published by George Newness in London in 1894. The illustration offers a glimpse into the world of the Victorian royal court, where the love of art, beauty, and the performing arts extended to even the most personal and private spaces.
