EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting color plate from "Queen Victoria's Dolls" by Frances H. Low, two exquisitely crafted dolls representing the Duchess of Parma and Count Almaviva from Gioachino Rossini's beloved opera "The Barber of Seville" are dressed in elegant Victorian outfits by a young Princess Victoria. The Duchess of Parma, depicted in a stunning satin gown adorned with intricate floral patterns and a matching shawl, exudes grace and sophistication. Her counterpart, Count Almaviva, dressed in a formal suit with a silk waistcoat and cravat, displays an air of confidence and charm. Surrounding the central figures are an array of delightful wooden dolls, including Monsieur Musard, Mlle. Rosina, and Count Taddeo, all dressed in the costumes of the opera's famous characters. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a ballet dancer dressed as Daphnis, a clown as Harlequin, and the shepherdess Céphise. This charming illustration, created by Alan Wright, offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian doll collecting and the passion for the performing arts that permeated the era. The intricately detailed dolls, meticulously dressed in their colorful costumes, transport us back in time, allowing us to relive the magic of Rossini's timeless opera through the eyes of a young princess. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of "The Barber of Seville," which continues to captivate audiences with its witty dialogue, memorable characters, and enchanting music. The dolls, dressed in Victorian finery, serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has been passed down through generations, inspiring creativity, imagination, and a love for the arts.
