1887 Empress Mourning Ruler Stand Stands
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking standing portrait of Queen Victoria, taken in the year 1887, captures the regal presence and unwavering strength of one of the most influential monarchs in British history. Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, was not only the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, but also the Empress of India. In this photograph, Victoria, dressed in mourning attire, stands confidently with her hands folded in front of her, holding a small table fan. The table, adorned with a vase of flowers, adds an elegant touch to the image. The backdrop of the studio setting, with its ornate decorations and dark color palette, further emphasizes the solemnity and grandeur of the scene. Victoria's reign marked the height of the Victorian era, a period of significant cultural, political, and social change in the 19th century. Her influence extended far beyond the borders of her kingdom, shaping the world in ways that are still felt today. This portrait, taken near the end of her long and storied reign, serves as a poignant reminder of her leadership and enduring legacy. The intricately detailed clothing Victoria wears in this portrait is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the time. The black mourning attire she dons reflects the somber mood of the late 1880s, a period of mourning for the loss of her husband, Prince Albert, who had passed away in 1861. This powerful and evocative portrait of Queen Victoria, taken in 1887, is a must-have for any collection of historical photographs or those interested in the history of the British monarchy.
