VICTORIA'S FIRST COUNCIL - A Glimpse into the Birth of a Reign
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - Queen Victoria's First Council held at Kensington Palace on 20 June 1837. The image, an exquisite wood engraving created in 1886 by an English artist after Sir David Wilkie's painting, beautifully captures the essence of this historic gathering. In this scene, we witness the early days of Queen Victoria's reign as she presides over her first council meeting. Surrounded by a group of distinguished individuals, including politicians and advisers, one can almost feel the weight of responsibility upon their shoulders. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as they discuss matters crucial to the governance of Victorian England. The composition skillfully highlights Queen Victoria herself, seated prominently at the center. Her youthful yet determined expression reflects both her regal authority and her eagerness to lead her nation towards progress and prosperity. Beyond its historical significance, this print offers a glimpse into Victorian society. It showcases not only political figures but also women actively participating in important decision-making processes - a notable departure from previous eras. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection, we are transported back in time; witnessing firsthand the birth of an iconic reign that would shape an entire era.
