Queen Victoria at Edward Cazalets Villa - South of France

Queen Victoria at Edward Cazalets Villa - South of France in 1885. In 1882, Queen Victoria began her winter affair with the Cote dAzur, she would arrive bearing extensive food and drink supplies, a multitude of staff, Highland soldiers and Abdul Karim, her Indian attendant (highly unpopular with all bar the queen herself). The queen would ride out frequently, either in a carriage or a cart pulled by Jacquot, a donkey she had rescued, half-starved, from a peasant (as lampooned on this card) and which she subsequently took back and forth to England with her. (Jacquot lived out his life at Windsor, after Victorias death.). Date: 1885

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Queen Victoria during her winter retreat to Edward Cazalet's Villa in the South of France, Nice, in 1885. In 1882, Queen Victoria embarked on a seasonal sojourn to the Cote d'Azur, bringing with her an extensive entourage, including food and drink supplies, a large staff, Highland soldiers, and Abdul Karim, her Indian attendant. The queen's unconventional companions were met with controversy and disapproval from the public, except for Victoria herself. In this image, the monarch can be seen riding out in the picturesque countryside, either in a carriage or a cart pulled by Jacquot, a donkey she had rescued from a peasant. The donkey, named Jacko or Jacquot, had been half-starved, but Victoria took pity on him and brought him back to England with her after her stay. Jacquot lived out his days at Windsor Castle, a testament to the queen's compassionate nature. The Cote d'Azur's mild climate and scenic beauty proved to be an alluring escape for the aging monarch, who rode frequently during her visits. The photograph showcases Queen Victoria's regal presence amidst the idyllic setting of the South of France, a stark contrast to the political and social tensions of late-19th-century Britain. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the private life of one of history's most intriguing and enduring monarchs.
