EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Still from the film Sixty Years a Queen, c. 1914" takes us back in time to the early days of cinema. Captured by the renowned Byron Company, this image showcases an intriguing scene from a biographical motion picture that delves into the life of Queen Victoria. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of Victorian interiors, we witness actors dressed in elaborate costumes portraying pivotal moments in history. The film's focus on Africa hints at the imperialist era and the scramble for African territories during that time. As one of America's most iconic cities, Manhattan serves as an unexpected setting for this historical drama. It is here that audiences were transported to distant lands through moving images projected onto silver screens. The grandeur and epic nature of this colonial-themed biopic are evident in every detail captured by Bridgeman Images' gelatin silver print technique. This photograph not only documents early cinema but also reflects society's fascination with royalty and conquest during the turn of the century. With its rich historical context and meticulous attention to detail, this still from "Sixty Years a Queen" offers viewers a glimpse into both British imperialism and American entertainment culture at its finest.
