EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print from the late 19th century, available on Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a humorous moment between Queen Victoria and her son, Prince Edward, during her long and illustrious reign. The image, dated between 1819 and 1901, shows a weary Queen Victoria sitting on her throne with a worried expression, as her son Edward, dressed in military uniform and identified as a Prisoner of War (POW), approaches her with a concerned look on his face. Edward, with a gentle and caring expression, asks the Queen if she would like to take a break from her royal duties and have a rest. Queen Victoria, who ruled the British Empire from 1837 to 1901, was known for her strong will and dedication to her country. However, this cartoon highlights the human side of the monarch, showing her as a tired and weary ruler who could use a moment of respite. The image also underscores the deep bond between a mother and her son, as well as the sacrifices that Edward made during his military service. The cartoonist's skillful use of humor and satire adds depth to this historical image, making it a fascinating and engaging addition to any collection of British history or royal memorabilia. With its intriguing narrative and beautiful detail, this print is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of the British monarchy or the life of Queen Victoria.
