The poupee was presented in the prestigious Parisian doll boutique "A La Poupee de Nuremberg" owned by Madame Lavalle-Peronne, described in La Poupee Modele as a "dollmaker of exquisite taste".
Madame Lavallee-Peronne, who presented her doll with the signature name of "Lily" and then, 1863, began the publication of the important doll journal La Poupee Modele in which the doll and, of course, all the things you could buy for the doll, were promoted. In Volume I of La Poupee Modele the doll was described as "our masterpiece, the jewel of our Etrennes with a refined head like the bisque of Sevres, the opulent blonde curls half-hidden by a batiste bonnet that can barely contain them, vibrant sapphire eyes, wild rose tint of complexion".

In utterly-perfect state of preservation, including bisque, body and original wig, the doll is presented with her original clothes and worn wooden box with its original store label (see photo).
