EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photographic study of Queen Victoria, taken in 1883 when she was 64 years old, captures the regal presence and unwavering strength of a monarch who had ruled for an impressive 46 years. Taken by the renowned photographer Bassano, this image offers a glimpse into the personal side of one of history's most iconic figures. Queen Victoria's reign, which began in 1837 at the tender age of 18, marked a period of significant change and progress for the United Kingdom. Her long and steadfast rule saw the expansion of the British Empire, the Industrial Revolution, and the end of the Victorian era. Despite the weight of her responsibilities, Victoria's portrait exudes a sense of vitality and determination. Her piercing gaze and confident posture convey a woman who was not only a monarch but also a mother, wife, and a woman of deep emotions. This photographic study, taken towards the end of her reign, serves as a poignant reminder of Victoria's enduring legacy. Her reign, which lasted for 21 years longer than any other British monarch in history, left an indelible mark on the world and continues to shape our understanding of the Victorian era. The intricacies of the photographic process during this time are evident in the rich detail and texture of the image. The use of a wet collodion process, which required the photographic plate to be developed and fixed while still wet, resulted in a high-quality, detailed image that captures the essence of the subject. This photographic study of Queen Victoria, taken by Bassano in 1883, is a testament to the power of photography as a medium for preserving history and capturing the essence of a remarkable woman and monarch.
