EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate depicts the exquisite doll of the renowned dancer Mlle. Proche Giubelei, dressed in the costume of the character Justine from the ballet "Un Jour à Naples." The doll is shown being admired by a young Princess Victoria, adding an extra layer of regality to the scene. The illustration is based on a real-life photograph and was created by the talented Alan Wright for Frances H. Low's book "Queen Victoria's Dolls," published in London by George Newness in 1894. Mlle. Proche Giubelei was a celebrated dancer of the late 19th century, known for her exceptional skill and grace. In this doll representation, she embodies the character Justine from the comic opera "Un Jour à Naples," a role she likely performed numerous times on stage. The intricate details of her costume are beautifully captured in the illustration, with its satin and silk fabric, bright colors, and ornate embellishments. The young Princess Victoria, who would later become Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India, is depicted in the image as a curious and engaged observer, adding an air of royal intrigue to the scene. The presence of the Princess further emphasizes the importance and prestige of Mlle. Proche Giubelei's career as a dancer during the Victorian era. The doll itself is a wooden creation, carefully crafted to resemble the dancer as closely as possible. Its clothes are meticulously made to match the original costume, allowing collectors and history enthusiasts to appreciate the intricacies of Victorian fashion and the art of doll-making. This color plate is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the world of dance, royalty, and toy culture during the Victorian era.
