EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures Queen Victoria and her children in mourning at Windsor Castle, following the devastating loss of Prince Albert in 1861. The somber group is gathered around a large bust of Albert, their expressions reflecting the deep sorrow they felt at his passing.
Queen Victoria, with her daughters Vicky (Crown Princess of Prussia) standing behind her and Alice kneeling beside her, along with her son Prince Alfred, are all dressed in black as a sign of respect for their beloved husband and father. The Queen's return from Osborne, where she sought refuge in the early days of widowhood, marked an important moment in British history.
The image is hauntingly beautiful, with Albert's gaze seeming to pierce through the darkness towards the light beyond. It serves as a powerful reminder of the profound impact that his death had on Victoria and her family.
This historical photograph not only captures a moment of deep grief but also highlights the strength and resilience of Queen Victoria as she navigated through one of the most challenging periods of her reign. It stands as a testament to love lost but never forgotten.
