Barbie: Great Eras Collection 2-Doll Lot #3 Medieval Lady & Elizabethan Queen /1993-1997 – (NRFB)

Description

NEVER REMOVED FROM BOX, in OVERALL GOOD CONDITION. This 2-doll lot is sold together as a set, with each doll NEVER REMOVED FROM BOX, in OVERALL GOOD CONDITION, showing minor wear/imperfections on box edges and corners typical for age and normal handling, unless otherwise individually specified. Dolls have typical 90’s “superstar” generic Barbie faces with large eyes, rooted lashes, and open smiles – with the exception of the Chinese Empress doll that has a modified “Kira” closed-mouth face. Bodies have the typical twist waist, straight-arms with angular shoulder movement, hips with straight back and forth movement, click-bend knees, and high-heel feet.

The “GREAT ERAS” series illustrates a variety of historically recognized fashion styles from select cultures or time frames. Each of the 10 dolls is complete with clothing representative of the selected era, with shoes and accessories as shown, plus a saddle stand with plastic round base inside the box. Each individualized storybook-type retail display/presentation box has a hinged solid front cover with Velcro-type closure. The inside covers are elaborately illustrated with historical summaries of the depicted fashion eras.

ITEMS INCLUDED IN THIS LOT #3:

1. Medieval Lady (1995 / 12791/ 074299127915) – The Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the 5th to the late 15th centuries, beginning with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioning into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. Typically known for castles, troubadours, Robin Hood, and knights in shining armor, feudal society was not all fun and games for the masses, but that didn’t stop proper ladies from dressing their best, especially when attending a feast at the king’s castle. Barbie is prepared for this social engagement wearing a deep blue velveteen gown with long draping sleeves and neckline trimmed in white fur to balance her elaborate two-point hat. (Box has some minor creases/dents in back and one side but otherwise is in good shape.)
2. Elizabethan Queen (1995 / 12792 / 074299127922) – The Elizabethan Era, named for Queen Elizabeth I, daughter of King Henry VII and Ann Boleyn, spans her reign from 1558 to 1603, and is often referred to as England’s “Golden Age.” The period saw relative domestic stability, economic prosperity, and religious change. Arts and literature flourished, significantly with the debut of plays by William Shakespeare. It was also a time of rampant colonialism as England emerged as a major European power with overseas exploration following the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Elizabethan Queen Barbie wears a lavishly embellished and patterned gown typical of royalty at the time, with a cinched waist and fitted bodice, high ruffled collar, and wide sweeping skirt.
