EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Pray for Me" captures a poignant moment in British history. In this 19th-century colour litho by Henry Tanworth Wells, we witness an extraordinary scene unfold. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, solemnly approach Princess Victoria to deliver devastating news - the passing of King William IV and her subsequent accession to the throne. As Princess Victoria receives this weighty information, she is depicted with grace and composure while surrounded by members of royalty. Lord Melbourne can be seen kneeling before her as a sign of respect during this pivotal moment in British monarchy. This powerful image showcases not only the historical significance but also highlights the emotions that must have overwhelmed young Victoria upon learning about her newfound responsibility as Queen. The composition beautifully conveys both vulnerability and strength within one frame. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the essence of each character involved. This particular print was featured in Richard Wilson's book "The Silver Lattice" published around 1910. Through this photograph, viewers are transported back in time to witness a crucial turning point in British history - when a young princess became Queen Victoria, leaving an indelible mark on Europe and beyond.
