EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this elegant portrait is Queen Victoria (1819-1901), the monarch who ruled the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death in 1901. Known as the "Grandmother of Europe," Victoria was also the Empress of India, a title reflecting the British Empire's vast territorial reach at the time. This stunning image, circa 1880, showcases the regal beauty and grace of Queen Victoria. She is depicted wearing a grand blue sash, symbolizing her royal status, and holding a fan, a fashionable accessory of the era. Her elaborate hairstyle, adorned with pearls and feathers, adds to the overall impression of opulence and sophistication. The portrait is an advertisement for W.F. Winter, a renowned clothier, hatter, hosier, and tailor based in Snargate Street, Dover. The card, featuring this striking image of Queen Victoria, would have been used to promote the up-to-date fashion offerings of W.F. Winter's establishment. The company's commitment to providing the latest styles is emphasized through the use of the contemporary portrait of the queen. This image not only offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the late 19th century but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Queen Victoria, whose reign marked a significant period in British history.
