EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the regal presence of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, in December 1866. Created by the talented photographer Andre-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri, this albumen silver print showcases the iconic monarch during a significant period in her reign. Queen Victoria, also known as Alexandrina Victoria, was the Empress of India and ruled over Britain and Ireland with great influence. Dressed in a somber mourning attire, Queen Victoria's expression reflects both strength and vulnerability. The image beautifully portrays her as a widow following the death of her beloved husband Prince Albert. Despite her grief, she remains an emblematic figurehead for her country. Disdéri's artistic prowess is evident in his composition and attention to detail. The monochromatic palette enhances the timeless quality of this nineteenth-century portrait while highlighting every intricate feature of Queen Victoria's face. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both British history and French photography expertise. It offers viewers an intimate glimpse into one of history's most influential female figures – a sovereign who navigated through personal loss while leading an empire. As we gaze upon this striking image captured by Disdéri's lens, we are reminded of Queen Victoria's enduring legacy that continues to inspire women around the world today.
