Presenting PRINCESS BEATRIX of the NETHERLANDS
Some dolls are just naturally photogenic like some people. This little Princess Beatrix steals my heart with her fetching poses. Made by Ideal in 1938 to commemorate the birth of the Netherland's own Princess Beatrix -- she is named for the daughter of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. Baby is marked Idea Doll on the nape of her neck. Molded dark brown hair; non-working crier; composition head, arms and legs. Factory sized at 24" she is one of a group of sizes ranging from 14"-26" produced at that time. All but the smallest have the flirty eyes like this one.
'Her sweetness lies in her Magic Eyes' -- to quote an advertisement for her. This was an exclusive Ideal feature -- Magic Eyes look left, look right -- and sleep, of course! Her beautiful clear original BIG BROWN eyes are UNCRAZED; baby Beatrix is in original condition head, and lightly restored body. The eye mechanism functions smoothly. Real human hair lashes are all present. Only a scant FEW CRAZE LINES on the entire baby doll.
Princess Beatrix is 24" and has creamy alabaster skin tone with a rosebud mouth and beautifully blushed cheeks; gorgeous dark molded curly hair -- excellent condition! Her composition is fabulous with only a modicum of nearly 'invisible' craze lines anywhere -- our eyes are drawn to hers and then she mesmerizes you with her artful poses. Composition is all smooth and with a satiny quality. Beatrix's cloth body has been preserved nicely she has no odor... remember this sweet little baby is over 79 years old!! She has lovely sculpting of her arms and legs -- chubby legs and smooth composition lend itself to endearing baby features. -- she has been very well cared for all these years gone by! She has a non-working crier in her tummy.
Ideal advertised this doll as "A popular new baby princess in doll form! Here is a doll that is truly a baby doll. It has the softest and cuddliest body that Ideal has ever produced -- Beatrix's arms and legs are so jointed that they will fall backward or forward just like those of a real baby -- her tiny fists are clenched like the fists of a newborn baby. Princess Beatrix can sit up or lie down, just as a real baby would in any pose, with one foot in her mouth or with her hands beneath her head -- or almost any other position a baby can take."
Princess Beatrix wears her original blue shadow print cotton organdy dress with matching bonnet and a replaced full slip. Her beautiful silk jacket and bonnet have been added for an extra special display. She wears new, old-store-stock matching booties with tassel ties. Her exquisite coat set is in excellent condition with no holes or tears or stains... just FABULOUS, 'dahling'!
I have had a range of sizes in the Princess Beatrix doll, but this little beauty is a lovely size for your collection, and ready to be displayed perhaps sitting in her own little chair, or draped softly against an elegant pillow on your bed... just waiting to be picked up and hugged.
NOTE; Last photo show this lovely Beatrix sitting quietly beside her Ideal 'sister' PLASSIE who wears a matching dress in pink, and is available in my shop as well.
