EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1929 and discover the enchanting world of childhood memories with this advertisement for the "Princess Elizabeth" doll from Hamleys, the renowned London toy shop. The future monarch, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, was immortalized as a cherished toy for children of the 1920s. The advertisement proudly presents "Princess Betty," a dainty replica of the young princess, dressed elegantly in either blue or pink silk outfits, complete with a full set of celluloid undies. Her celluloid head and jointed limbs allowed for endless hours of play and imagination, while her dutiful obedience to being told to go to sleep added a magical touch to the doll's allure. This advertisement offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique connection to the royal history and the nostalgic charm of the 1920s. The image of the young princess, adorned in silk and presented as a cherished toy, serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of royalty and the power of toys to capture the hearts and minds of children. The advertisement, with its elegant typography and charming illustrations, invites us to imagine a time when the future queen was a beloved plaything, and the magic of Hamleys' toys brought joy to children's lives. This precious piece of history, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to explore the enchanting world of the past and reconnect with the timeless joy of childhood memories.
