Madame Alexander Dolls

The scene is Merton Place in England, lbs I where Lady Emma Hamilton resided with her husband, Sir William Hamilton, and her lover, Lord Horatio Nelson, to whom she bore a daughter, Horatia. Hamilton was 57 years her senior at the time of their marriage. Prior to her marriage to Sir Hamilton, she worked as a maid in her very early years, then her beauty and popularity propelled her to become a portrait model for painter George Romney. Vivian Leigh played the colorful character of Lady Hamilton in the 1941 film, That Hamilton Woman. Twist-waist Wendy Ann is plays Lady Hamilton in this listing. She is made of composition and was produced between 1940-45. Her eyes of brown have darkened over time, but her coloring is very good and her composition is in very good condition as well. Her costume is from an HP Lady Hamilton doll #1338, made for Madame’s Portraits of History Series. Everything worn by the the older doll, including her slipper satin shoes, are original to the Later HP doll. Her gown is of an ivory nylon, with a moss green velveteen overlay and a lace collar. Her wavy light auburn hair is a replacement wig, fitting of her character. She wears pantaloons, edged in Val lace, and nylons with her satin shoes. Two photos of Lady Hamilton in paintings are included in the listing photos. The second one is by painter George Romney. I used this doll for the lovely costume because it fits her perfectly and the ensemble is as beautiful as the older MA doll costumes. I love the Wendy Ann swivel-waist design with the versatility it allows in posing her. She has an extended arm and one slightly-bent knee, which adds to her grace. I also prefer Madame’s composition dolls to her HP dolls used in these series, but love and appreciate the continued beauty of the costumes presented on them. The last photo in the listing shows all 4 dolls. The AI-generated main photo does not change the characteristics of the doll. I have provided the original photo for comparison.

Doll is in excellent condition with original accessories.

She can be seen on page 31 of the Cissette book by Marjorie Merod. Cissette is in excellent condition with no splits, breaks, or stains in her plastic. She has very bright and beautiful original facial coloring. Her hair is beautiful and in its original set. Her dress is in excellent condition with no holes, stains, tears or odors. The lovely color pink is consistent throughout the dress and has not faded. The flowers on the dress and on the shawl are in great condition as well. Under the dress she wears a long pink slip in very good condition and a pair of perfect bloomers. Her stockings look to be in good condition with no runs that I can find and her shoes maintain some original stretch and are not overly stretched out. The silver on the bottom of the shoes has worn off in a few spots but you will never see it when she is standing up. Cissette completes this outfit with a beautiful hat, triple drop earrings and gold bracelet. The hat is beautiful with absolutely perfect flowers on top. Under the hat there is a very small mark that I noticed when picturing and wanted to mention. The earrings and bracelet are both in excellent condition. All together this is such a beautiful doll that will not disappoint. Please check out all my wonderful Alexander and Nancy Ann dolls this week. Please take a look at all the pictures as they are an important part of the description. Thanks for looking and Good Luck!
