EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sphere's Front Cover: Britannia Mourns the Loss of Queen Victoria (January 22, 1901) In the poignant front cover of The Sphere magazine, published on January 27, 1901, Britannia, the personification of Britain and its sovereignty, is depicted in deep mourning for the loss of Queen Victoria. The monarch, who had reigned for an unprecedented 63 years, passed away on January 22, 1901, leaving an indelible mark on British history and the world at large. Britannia, dressed in black and with a veil covering her face, holds a wreath in her left hand, symbolizing her grief and respect for the deceased monarch. The image captures the somber mood of the nation as it comes to terms with the end of an era. The background shows a grand, ornate throne, empty and vacant, emphasizing the significance of the Queen's reign and her role as the embodiment of the British monarchy. The Sphere's front cover was a testament to the profound impact Queen Victoria had on her people and the world. Her death marked the beginning of a new chapter in British history, with her eldest son, Edward VII, ascending to the throne. The image of Britannia mourning her loss served as a powerful reminder of the Queen's legacy and the enduring strength of the British monarchy.
