EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the life of Queen Victoria, one of the most iconic monarchs in British history. In 1831, a young Princess Victoria is depicted making a remarkable discovery as she finds a sheet of paper tucked away in one of her school books. The revelation contained within this piece of paper would change the course of her life forever - it informed her that she would inherit the throne upon the death of her uncle, King William IV.
Standing beside Princess Victoria is Baroness Lehzen, her devoted governess who played a crucial role in shaping and educating the future queen. The image beautifully encapsulates the innocence and curiosity of youth juxtaposed with the weighty responsibilities that awaited Victoria as she ascended to become Queen of England in 1837 and later Empress of India in 1876.
Through this engraving from c1887, we are given a glimpse into an intimate moment from Queen Victoria's formative years, highlighting not only her royal lineage but also her thirst for knowledge and sense of duty. This historical snapshot serves as a poignant reminder of how destiny can be revealed through unexpected discoveries, setting individuals on paths they never could have imagined.
