EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch of Gipsy women encamped near Claremont in Surrey, captured the attention of Princess Victoria during the Christmas season of 1836. At the time, Victoria was deeply moved by the plight of these nomadic people, whose way of life was increasingly coming under threat from societal prejudice and discrimination. The Princess, who would later become Queen Victoria, documented her sympathies for the Gipsies in her personal journals, expressing her admiration for their resilience and their rich cultural traditions. This image, with its intimate portrayal of the women going about their daily tasks, offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these often misunderstood individuals. The scene is set against the backdrop of Claremont, a grand estate that was a favorite retreat for the royal family. The contrast between the opulence of the surrounding estate and the simple, makeshift dwellings of the Gipsy encampment underscores the stark differences between the two worlds. This poignant sketch, created in the 19th century, offers a poignant reminder of a time when the lives of the Gipsy community were shaped by the prejudices and biases of a society that struggled to understand their way of life. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Gipsy people and the fascination they continue to hold for generations.
