EDITORS COMMENTS
Queen Victoria's Dog Rooney and Her Puppies" is an enchanting photograph capturing a tender moment in the late Victorian era, featuring Queen Victoria with her beloved Corgi, Rooney, and her newborn puppies. Taken in July 1887, this image offers a rare glimpse into the private life of one of history's most famous monarchs. Queen Victoria, dressed in a dark mourning gown, cradles one of the tiny Corgi puppies in her arms, her expression filled with affection and maternal warmth. Rooney, a loyal and cherished companion, lies at her feet, gazing up at her mistress with unwavering devotion. The other puppies playfully frolic around them, their small paws scampering across the floor, their tails wagging in excitement. The photograph, taken during the height of Queen Victoria's 63-year reign, showcases the deep bond between the Queen and her dogs, which was well-documented throughout her life. Rooney, a gift from her granddaughter Princess Louise, became a beloved companion to the Queen during her widowhood. The Corgi breed was a favorite among the British royal family, and Queen Victoria's affection for them is evident in this heartwarming image. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the enduring love between a monarch and her loyal companion. It offers a glimpse into the personal life of Queen Victoria, providing a poignant reminder of the emotional connections that transcend the boundaries of time and history.
