EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Queen Vic / Trombinoscope," is a humorous and intriguing representation of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, created in the early 20th century. The image, held in the esteemed collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique blend of history and whimsy. Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, is depicted here in an unexpected and playful way, as she sits inside a trombinoscope, a precursor to the modern-day viewfinder or periscope. The trombinoscope, a popular toy during the Victorian era, was a cylindrical device with a series of lenses that produced distorted images when peered through. The queen's regal countenance is transformed into an amusing caricature as she gazes out at the world through this quirky contraption. The print's creation date, around 1901, marks the end of Queen Victoria's remarkable 63-year reign. Her death in January of that year marked the end of the Victorian era and the beginning of a new chapter in British history. This print serves as a delightful reminder of the monarch's long and influential rule, as well as the lighter side of history. The intricate details of the print, from the queen's elaborate headdress to the ornate trombinoscope, showcase the skill and artistry of the printmaker. The use of bold colors and dynamic lines adds to the playful nature of the image, making it a captivating addition to any historical collection or display. In conclusion, the "Queen Vic / Trombinoscope" print is a delightful and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on Queen Victoria and the Victorian era. Its playful and humorous take on history makes it a must-have for anyone interested in British history or the quirks of the past.
