EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Balmoral Castle, circa 1870. Situated on the picturesque banks of the River Dee in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, this historic estate was personally acquired by Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria. Designed by architect William Smith, Balmoral Castle has served as a cherished residence for the British royal family since 1852. The aerial view captured in this engraving allows us to appreciate the grandeur of this listed building. The landscape surrounding it is truly breathtaking, with its fortifications and geographical features adding to its allure. In the foreground, we see local people collecting firewood while children play nearby - a glimpse into everyday life during that era. This image is part of "Picturesque Europe - The British Isles". Volume II published by Cassell Petter & Galpin in London around 1870. It offers a window into European art and literature from that time period. As we admire this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, let us reflect on how Balmoral Castle continues to stand as an emblematic symbol of Britain's rich heritage. Its significance extends beyond being just a physical structure; it represents love between Prince Albert and Queen Victoria and their shared passion for preserving tradition amidst changing times.
