EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in August 1895, depicts Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and her granddaughter Princess Beatrice (1857-1944) leaving Windsor Castle for a leisurely drive in a donkey-drawn carriage. The image, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a unique glimpse into the personal life of one of the most influential monarchs in British history. Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, is shown here in the prime of her later years, dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, with a warm smile playing on her lips as she confidently guides the donkey, holding the reins with one hand. Princess Beatrice, who was the eldest unmarried daughter of Prince Henry of Battenberg and Princess Beatrice of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, accompanies her grandmother, adding a touch of youth and vitality to the scene. The photograph, which was published in the Illustrated London News on September 7, 1895, under the caption "The Queen's Drive with Princess Beatrice," provides a rare insight into the monarch's informal moments, away from the grandeur and formality of her official duties. It is a poignant reminder of the human side of a queen who ruled for over 63 years and left an indelible mark on the history of her country and the world. The image, which is available for research and editorial use, is a testament to the rich and diverse historical record that Mary Evans Picture Library offers, allowing us to explore and learn from the past in a way that is both engaging and enlightening.
