EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, taken from the esteemed publication "Queen Victoria's Dolls" by Frances H. Low, showcases a delightful collection of Marie Taglioni ballerina dolls, meticulously crafted and dressed in costumes inspired by the legendary ballerina's most famous performances. The young Princess Victoria, a dedicated patron of the arts and an avid collector of dolls, is depicted in the illustration by Alan Wright, lovingly tending to her precious treasures. Marie Taglioni (1804-1884) was a groundbreaking ballerina, renowned for her ethereal grace and innovative dance techniques. Her most celebrated roles include those in "La Bayadère," "La Sylphide," and "William Tell." The intricately detailed dolls in this image are dressed in replicas of the costumes Taglioni wore in these iconic productions. The first doll, dressed in the costume of "La Bayadère," is adorned in a rich, red and gold ensemble, complete with a voluminous, tiered skirt and intricate headdress. The second doll, representing "La Sylphide," is dressed in a delicate, flowing white costume, featuring a diaphanous skirt and a wispy, translucent veil. The third doll, embodying the character from "William Tell," dons a vibrant, green and gold outfit, complete with a quiver of arrows and a feathered headdress. These exquisite dolls, made of wood and dressed in satin and silk, were a testament to the Princess's passion for the arts and her dedication to preserving the memory of Marie Taglioni's legendary performances. This charming image offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era collectibles and the enduring allure of the ballet.
