EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures a historic moment in the annals of British royal history, as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, accompanied by their seven children, take a delightful break from their royal duties to visit Wombwell's Menagerie during the Windsor Michaelmas Fair in October 1847. The Menagerie, which had brought all its exotic animals to the Great Quadrangle of Windsor Castle for the occasion, offered an unparalleled opportunity for the young royals to learn about the natural world and experience the wonders of the animal kingdom. The image, dated 21st October 1847, shows Queen Victoria in her regal attire, with a warm smile on her face as she points to an elephant, while Prince Albert, ever the attentive and loving husband, holds their youngest daughter Princess Beatrice in his arms. Their eldest daughter, Victoria, the Princess Royal, stands beside them, gazing at the animals with a sense of fascination. The other children, including Albert Edward, Alice, Alfred, and Helena, are also present, each lost in their own world of discovery. The Great Quadrangle of Windsor Castle, a magnificent architectural masterpiece, serves as the perfect backdrop to this charming scene. The grandeur of the castle, with its intricate designs and towering turrets, stands in stark contrast to the raw beauty and energy of the animals in the Menagerie. This engraving, a testament to a bygone era, offers a glimpse into the lives of the British monarchy and their fascination with the natural world. It is a reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the enduring bond between a family and the wonders of nature.
