EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom (1819-1901) attending the procession of red penitents in Nice. The engraving, originally featured in "Le petit journal" on April 24th, 1898, is part of the Selva Collection. The image showcases a moment from history when royalty and religious tradition intersected. Queen Victoria's presence at this event highlights her interest in cultural and religious practices beyond her own kingdom. As one of the most influential monarchs of the 19th century, she played a significant role in shaping European politics and culture. The composition of the engraving beautifully depicts Queen Victoria amidst a sea of red-clad penitents, their somber expressions contrasting with her regal demeanor. This visual juxtaposition symbolizes both unity and distinction between monarchy and faith. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography preserves this historical moment for future generations to appreciate. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era characterized by grandeur and tradition. This photograph serves as a testament to Queen Victoria's enduring legacy as well as her curiosity about different cultures within Europe. It reminds us that even powerful figures like queens can find inspiration outside their own borders. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded not only of Queen Victoria's reign but also how art can capture moments that transcend time itself.
