1891 Driving Grasse Grounds Riviera Spring
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time as Queen Victoria enjoys a leisurely drive through the lush grounds of the Grand Hotel in Grasse during her holiday on the French Riviera in the spring of 1891. Dressed in an elegant outfit befitting a monarch, Victoria sits regally in her open carriage, her expression one of tranquil contentment as she takes in the scenic beauty surrounding her. The Grand Hotel, a luxurious retreat for the European elite, is nestled among the rolling hills and fragrant lavender fields of Grasse, providing the perfect backdrop for this royal outing. The Queen's visit to the Riviera was a much-anticipated event, and the local population turned out in droves to catch a glimpse of their monarch. The streets were adorned with colorful banners and garlands, and the air was filled with the sounds of music and laughter. Victoria's presence brought a sense of excitement and glamour to the region, and her holiday marked the beginning of the Riviera's reputation as a popular destination for the wealthy and famous. As her carriage makes its way through the gardens, Victoria is surrounded by the vibrant colors and rich textures of the Mediterranean landscape. The sun casts dappled shadows through the trees, and the scent of jasmine and roses fills the air. It is a scene of pure beauty and serenity, a moment frozen in time that continues to captivate and inspire us over a century later.
