EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact - a letter from Queen Victoria to Mary Augusta Gordon, dated 16th March 1885. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than Queen Victoria herself, highlighting her talent beyond her role as monarch. The letter holds immense sentimental value as it revolves around the gift of a Bible that once belonged to Mary Augusta's brother, General Gordon. Tragically, General Gordon lost his life during the siege of Khartoum in January of that year. This heartfelt correspondence captures Queen Victoria expressing her gratitude for this precious memento and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of war. The photograph beautifully portrays the handwritten nature of the letter, showcasing Queen Victoria's elegant Victorian script and signature in vibrant colors. It provides an intimate glimpse into their personal connection and reveals the religious significance attached to this exchange. As we delve into this nineteenth-century treasure trove, we witness how religion played an essential role in people's lives during that era. The image also symbolizes royalty and power while shedding light on the concept of sovereignty. Preserved by The Print Collector, this facsimile brings together three influential figures: General Charles George Gordon, Mary Augusta Gordon, and Queen Victoria herself – each leaving their mark on history through their individual contributions.
