EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate depicts a wooden doll, meticulously dressed as Miss Arnold, a governess in the court of Queen Victoria. The young Princess Victoria herself is believed to have dressed the doll, adding a personal touch to its authentic Victorian outfit. The doll wears a poke bonnet adorned with ribbons and a muslin frock, completed with a long fichu. In her hands, she holds a music score, ready to play a melody on the piano or perhaps sing a song. The doll's expression conveys a sense of concentration and dedication, reflecting the serious and disciplined nature of a Victorian governess. Miss Arnold, a real-life governess who taught Queen Victoria from 1832 to 1837, was an influential figure in the young monarch's life. Her teachings instilled a deep love for learning and the arts in the future queen. This wooden doll, a cherished relic from the past, serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Miss Arnold and the significant role she played in shaping the life of Queen Victoria. The illustration, created by Alan Wright, was originally published in Frances H. Low's book "Queen Victoria's Dolls," published by George Newness in London in 1894. The intricate details of the doll's outfit, from the satin ribbons on the bonnet to the delicate silk fichu, are beautifully captured in this color plate, offering a glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the Victorian era.
