EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - "The Queen at Cimiez, Her Majesty's Visit to the Fete des Congourdons, or Gourd Fair". The engraving, created by Amedee Forestier and now part of a private collection, showcases the grandeur and elegance of Queen Victoria during her visit to France. In this enchanting scene, set against the backdrop of the French Riviera, we witness Her Majesty immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of the fair. Surrounded by street scenes filled with locals and visitors alike, she exudes regal grace as she explores the festivities. The Fete des Congourdons is an annual celebration known for its unique focus on gourds. As Queen Victoria graces this event with her presence, it becomes clear that her influence extends far beyond her own kingdom. This image serves as a testament to both her royal status and international recognition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through Forestier's artistry, we are transported back to 1899 when European culture flourished. It reminds us not only of France's rich heritage but also highlights the unity within Europe during that era. Let us cherish this photograph as a reminder of Queen Victoria's enduring legacy and appreciate how art can preserve moments from our past for generations to come.
