EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the secluded and picturesque poultry house of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, located on the boundaries of Windsor Castle in the Home Park during the 1840s. The private Royal poultry house, a hidden gem, was a vital component of the Windsor estate, providing the Queen and her family with fresh eggs and poultry. The intricately designed henhouse, adorned with red brick and whitewashed walls, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The symmetrical arrangement of the windows and doors adds to its charm, while the thatched roof and tall chimney suggest a cozy and functional interior. The yard surrounding the henhouse is bustling with activity, as chickens and game birds roam freely, pecking at the ground and clucking amongst themselves. The hens, with their plump bodies and bright red combs, are a testament to the excellent care and attention they receive. The presence of game birds, such as pheasants and partridges, hints at the diverse range of poultry kept on the estate for various purposes. The Royal poultry house was a source of pride for Queen Victoria, who was known for her love of country life and her dedication to her family. The image provides a rare glimpse into the daily life of the Queen and her household during the 1840s, offering a fascinating insight into the past and the role of a Royal poultry house in the daily sustenance of the Monarchy.
