EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the extravagant Costume Ball at Buckingham Palace in the 1840s. The year is 1900, and we are presented with a stunning illustration from "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" by Robert Wilson. In this particular scene, Queen Victoria herself transforms into Queen Philippa at the Plantagenet Ball. The atmosphere is filled with grandeur as courtiers elegantly dance to the enchanting melodies played by an orchestra. The women don exquisite fancy dresses, each one more intricate than the last, showcasing the fashion trends of that era. Amidst them all stands Queen Victoria, radiating regal grace in her portrayal of Queen Philippa. The monochrome engraving captures every detail meticulously; from the majestic organ playing in harmony with the music to the joyous expressions on people's faces as they revel in this opulent affair. This image not only reflects a momentous event but also provides insight into Victorian society's love for elaborate costume parties. It is worth noting that Prince Albert accompanies his beloved queen, adding an air of romance to this historical tableau. Together they embody elegance and sophistication while paying homage to King Edward III and Philippa of Hainault. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to a time when royalty embraced festivities with utmost splendor. It serves as a reminder of Britain's rich cultural heritage during the 19th century and highlights how art can immortalize moments that would otherwise be lost in time
