EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures a tender moment between Queen Victoria and her eldest son, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VII, in the winter of 1849. The image, created by an accomplished engraver, beautifully conveys the deep affection between mother and son. Queen Victoria, dressed in a magnificent gown adorned with pearls and diamonds, gazes lovingly at her 21-year-old heir, who wears the uniform of the Royal Navy. Albert Edward, with a confident and mature expression, places his hand on his mother's shoulder, demonstrating his devotion and respect. The photograph was taken during a significant period in British history, as Queen Victoria's reign was entering its prime, and her eldest son was preparing to assume his role as the future monarch. The image reflects the strong bond between the two, which played a crucial role in the stability and continuity of the monarchy during this time. The engraving, originally published in February 1849, is a testament to the historical significance of the relationship between Queen Victoria and her eldest son. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds of their clothing to the delicate patterns on the wallpaper, offer a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era. This image, with its rich historical context and emotional depth, is an essential addition to any collection of British royal history or Victorian-era art. It serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between a mother and her heir, and the crucial role they play in shaping the future of their kingdom.
