EDITORS COMMENTS
This sombre postcard from 1901 captures the collective mourning of a nation upon the death of Queen Victoria, who was beloved as monarch like never before. The poignant quotes by Alfred Austin and Lord Tennyson speak to her lasting impact on her people, portraying her as not just a ruler but also a mother, wife, and queen.
Queen Victoria's reign marked an era of great change and progress for Great Britain and its empire, including India where she held the title of Empress. Her passing in January 1901 left a void that was felt deeply by all who revered her.
The image on this print is a powerful reminder of the reverence with which Queen Victoria was regarded during her lifetime and beyond. The oval frame adds to the sense of solemnity surrounding this historical moment.
As we reflect on Queen Victoria's legacy through this mourning card sent in February 1901, we are reminded of the profound impact she had on her people and how she will forever be remembered as one of Britain's greatest monarchs.
