The Queen at the Fete in the Forest of St Germain, France
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the mid-late 19th century. In this enchanting scene captured by artist William Barnes Wollen, we see Queen Victoria herself seated in an open carriage, elegantly adorned in her national dress. The illustration comes from "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria Vol II" written by Robert Wilson around 1888. As the carriage makes its way through the forest, we catch a glimpse of the bustling fete taking place around them. People dressed in traditional costumes gather to celebrate amidst lively entertainment and religious ceremonies led by a priest on horseback. The queen's presence adds an air of regality to this joyous occasion. Queen Victoria's parasol shields her from the sun as she graciously acknowledges her subjects along the road. Her royal visit to St Germain highlights Britain's strong ties with France during that era. This monochrome image beautifully captures not only a moment in history but also showcases William Barnes Wollen's talent for detail and composition. It serves as a reminder of an era when transportation was still reliant on carriages and horses, adding another layer of nostalgia to this remarkable artwork. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both historical events and cultural traditions while honoring one of Britain's most iconic monarchs – Queen Victoria – who reigned over Great Britain and Ireland during this period.
