The Royal Oak - Queen Victoria and descendents family tree
A spectacular family tree produced by The Illustrated London News to mark the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. The beautifully drawn oak tree is hung with portraits of Victoria and Albert, their nine children as well as numerous grandchildren and, in some cases, great grandchildren. With her children and grandchildren making dynastic matches into other royal families, no wonder Queen Victoria was known as the Grandmother of Europe. The addition of illustrations of Westminster, London and India symbolise the span of the British Empire during her reign. Date: 1887

EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent family tree, titled "The Royal Oak: Queen Victoria and her Descendants," was published by The Illustrated London News in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. The intricately drawn oak tree is adorned with portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, their nine children, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. With Queen Victoria's children and grandchildren making dynastic marriages into other royal families, it's no surprise that she was affectionately known as the "Grandmother of Europe." The addition of illustrations of Westminster, London, and India symbolizes the vast expanse of the British Empire during Victoria's reign. The tree branches are adorned with the portraits of notable figures such as King Edward VII, Prince of Wales; Princesses Victoria, Helena, and Louise; and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, among others. This tree showcases the extensive royal lineage, with offspring marrying into various European royal houses such as Germany, Prussia, and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Notable figures include Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, Duke and Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein, and the Duke and Duchess of Waldeck and Pyrmont. The tree also includes portraits of the children of Victoria's eldest son, Prince Albert Edward, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, including the future King George V and Queen Mary, as well as their children, such as King George V's consort, Queen Mary of Teck. This stunning family tree is a testament to the complex web of royal relationships and alliances during the Victorian era, highlighting the importance of the British monarchy in European politics and society.
