EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a handwritten letter from Queen Victoria to Miss Mary Augusta Gordon, expressing her gratitude for a bible that she received as a gift. Dated 16 March 1885, this precious artifact provides us with an intimate glimpse into the personal correspondence of one of history's most iconic figures. Queen Victoria, who reigned over the United Kingdom from 1837 until her death in 1901, was also known as Empress of India from 1876 onwards. Her reign marked a significant period of British history and her influence extended far beyond the borders of her kingdom. In this heartfelt letter, Queen Victoria begins by addressing Miss Gordon with warmth and appreciation. She acknowledges the kindness behind the thoughtful gesture and expresses her gratitude for receiving such a meaningful present. The words penned by Queen Victoria offer insight into her character - graciousness and humility shining through even in private correspondences. Preserved within Facsimiles of Autographs at the British Museum since its publication in 1899, this historical document serves as a testament to both Queen Victoria's faith and her close relationships with those around her. It is through artifacts like these that we can truly understand the human side of influential figures throughout history. Brought to life by Bridgeman Images' meticulous reproduction techniques, this print allows us to appreciate not only the content but also the exquisite penmanship displayed in every stroke on paper. As we gaze upon this image captured during the nineteenth century, we are reminded once again of how art has an extraordinary ability to transport us back in time and connect us with our shared heritage.
