EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the grandeur and tranquility of Osborne House. Once a cherished haven for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, this former royal residence in East Cowes, Isle of Wight served as their personal sanctuary. Designed by Prince Albert himself alongside Thomas Cubitt, this architectural masterpiece was built between 1845 and 1851. The image showcases the stately home's impressive exterior set against a picturesque garden backdrop. Its elegant Victorian charm is beautifully portrayed through the monochrome lens. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene frozen in time, we can almost imagine Queen Victoria and Prince Albert strolling hand-in-hand along these very grounds. It was here that they sought solace from their public duties—a place where they could truly be themselves. The print not only captures the essence of Osborne House but also offers a glimpse into nineteenth-century England. This historical gem reminds us of an era when royalty reigned supreme and country houses like these were symbols of power and prestige. Thanks to James Taylor's engraving from "The Victorian Empire" we are transported back to witness the splendor that once graced these hallowed halls. Let us cherish this remarkable piece of history as it immortalizes both Queen Victoria's reign over Great Britain and Ireland, as well as her deep love for her beloved husband Prince Albert.
