EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Princess Victoria makes a discovery, 1831" we catch a glimpse of an extraordinary moment in history. The young Princess Victoria, just twelve years old at the time, is depicted engrossed in her studies. Dressed elegantly in a flowing gown befitting her royal status, she sits poised at her desk with an open book before her. Her delicate features are illuminated by the soft light streaming through the window as she delicately holds a sheet of paper that has caught her attention. Unbeknownst to her at that very moment, this simple piece of paper would forever change the course of her life. As we learn from this engraving created by Queen Victoria herself (with assistance from an unknown creator), it was on this fateful day that young Victoria discovered she would one day ascend to the throne upon the death of King William IV, her father. This revelation undoubtedly sparked a mixture of emotions within the princess - excitement for what lay ahead and perhaps even trepidation for the weighty responsibilities that awaited. Little did anyone know then that this bright-eyed girl would go on to become one of Britain's most iconic monarchs - Queen Victoria. Her reign spanning over six decades left an indelible mark on history and transformed not only Great Britain but also its vast empire. This remarkable image serves as a poignant reminder of how unexpected discoveries can shape our destinies and propel us towards greatness.
