Return to the Dolly Varden description page.

Charles Dickens' character Dolly Varden's dress style was the inspiration for an eponymous fabric pattern, which in turn inspired the name of the fish. She also evidently inspired a song. This sign, photographed by Bob Armstrong in Skagway, incorporates the cover of the sheet music for the song and shows the pink-spotted pattern.
