Mademoiselle Lily Darboy, a French fashion doll
Unknown / Inconnu1863/1863
McCord Stewart Museum
Montreal, Canada
This French fashion doll, known as a poupée, has some two hundred garments and accessories, only a few of which are shown here. They reflect the wardrobe of a fashionable bourgeois woman of the time. Parisian stores dedicated to such luxury dolls and their accoutrements were spectacles of Second Empire extravagance. Between 1863, the year he became Archbishop of Paris, and 1866, Georges Darboy offered Lily to his niece, whose descendants brought her to Canada.
