EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the majestic presence of the Statue of Queen Victoria, created by Count Gleichen in commemoration of her Golden Jubilee, which was erected at Royal Holloway College in Egham, Surrey in June 1887. The late Victorian era, with its intricate details and grandeur, is beautifully encapsulated in this image. Count Gleichen, a renowned artist and photographer, was commissioned to create a statue that would honor Queen Victoria's 50-year reign on the British throne. The statue, which stands proudly on the college grounds, is a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of the period. The Queen is depicted in her regal attire, with a flowing gown and a crown adorned with precious gems. Her expression is serene and confident, reflecting the strength and resilience of a monarch who ruled during a time of great change and progress. The statue's intricate details, from the delicate folds of her gown to the intricate patterns on her crown, are expertly captured in this photograph. Royal Holloway College, founded by Frances Galton and her half-sister Emily Davies in 1879, was intended to provide higher education for women. The statue of Queen Victoria, with her symbolic representation of power and authority, stands as a reminder of the role of women in the late Victorian era and their growing place in society. This photograph, taken in the 1880s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur, tradition, and progress. The image of Queen Victoria, standing proudly in the college grounds, continues to inspire and intrigue, a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable monarch and the era she represented.
