EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as the young princess Victoria is informed of her accession to the throne of Great Britain. Taken on the morning of 20th June 1837, it showcases the solemn presence of two influential figures - the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chamberlain. In this late 19th-century photogravure, we are transported back to that early Victorian era when England was about to witness a remarkable reign unfold. The image itself is an adaptation from Henry Tanworth Wells' painting created around 1880, showcasing his artistic prowess in capturing historical events. The composition exudes a sense of gravity and anticipation as Princess Victoria listens intently to these nobleman's words. Her youthful innocence juxtaposed with their dignified expressions creates a powerful visual contrast. It symbolizes not only her transition into queenship but also highlights her Christian faith through the presence of the Archbishop. This photograph serves as a reminder of Queen Victoria's long and prosperous reign that spanned from 1837 to 1901, earning her title as one of Britain's most iconic monarchs. It encapsulates both historical significance and artistic excellence, making it an invaluable piece for any admirer or collector interested in British royal history.
