EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history as Queen Victoria visits soldiers wounded in the Indian Frontier campaigns. Taken on December 3,1898, at Netley Hospital near Southampton, Hampshire, this image showcases Queen Victoria's compassion and dedication to her armed forces. Queen Victoria (1819-1901), known as Alexandrina Victoria during her reign, is seen surrounded by injured men of the British Army recovering in their hospital beds. The solemn atmosphere of the room is palpable as she engages with each soldier individually, offering comfort and support during their healing process. Samuel Begg skillfully captured this significant event for posterity through his lens. Published in "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901: The Life and Accession of King Edward VII. and the Life of Queen Alexandra" in 1901, this photograph serves as a testament to both the monarch's empathy towards her people and Begg's talent as a photographer. In an era marked by warfare and hardship, Queen Victoria's visit symbolizes her commitment to caring for those who sacrificed their well-being for their country. This image stands not only as a historical record but also as a reminder of the resilience displayed by both soldiers and sovereign alike.
