EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating fold-out postcard, titled "The Royal Likeness - 3/3 - Queen Victoria (1819-1901)", is a remarkable piece of royal history. The card, which dates back to the 1910s, initially presents a portrait of King George V. However, upon opening the card, one is treated to a surprise reveal of two more portraits. The first hidden portrait unveils King Edward VII, the predecessor of King George V on the British throne. The second and final portrait is of Queen Victoria, the longest-reigning monarch in British history. The similarity between the three royals' facial features and form becomes increasingly apparent as the portraits are revealed, highlighting the familial connections between the monarchs. The novelty and unusual design of this postcard make it a captivating piece of historical memorabilia. Queen Victoria, who ruled from 1837 to 1901, is known for her significant impact on the British Empire, particularly during her reign in India. Her influence extended beyond her own rule, shaping the reigns of her successors and leaving a lasting impact on the monarchy and the world. This fold-out card is a testament to the rich history and intrigue of the British monarchy, offering a unique and revealing glimpse into the past. The hidden portraits not only showcase the physical resemblances between the monarchs but also serve as a reminder of the familial connections and continuity within the royal family.
