EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in history - the Fire in the Prince of Wales's Tower at Windsor Castle, dating back to the 1850s. Created by renowned artist William Barnes Wollen, this engraving is part of The Life & Times of Queen Victoria, Vol II, illustrated by Robert Wilson in 1888. In this striking image, we see Queen Victoria herself standing amidst the chaos as she watches the flames engulfing her beloved castle. Her regal presence is emphasized by her elegant Victorian attire and distinctive bonnet. The fire rages on fiercely against the night sky backdrop, casting an eerie glow that illuminates both the architecture and people surrounding it. Windsor Castle stands tall and majestic in its monochrome glory, showcasing its historical significance as a fortification and royal residence. This particular tower holds special importance as it bears the name of Prince of Wales Tower. The composition not only highlights the destructive power of fire but also serves as a testament to Queen Victoria's strength and resilience during challenging times. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era when monarchs played pivotal roles in their nations' lives. This remarkable print from Heritage Images provides us with a fascinating window into British history while honoring notable figures such as William Barnes Wollen, Robert Wilson, and Queen Victoria herself.
