EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraved portrait captures the momentous occasion of Queen Victoria's Accession to the throne on the morning of June 20, 1837. The image was created after a drawing by Miss Costello and published in 1886 by ILN (Illustrated London News). Queen Victoria, dressed in a simple white gown and wearing the George IV State Diadem, is depicted in a solemn and regal pose, reflecting the historical significance of the moment. The background shows the grandeur of the throne room, with ornate furnishings and red velvet drapes. The 21-year-old queen had ascended to the throne following the death of her uncle, King William IV. Her accession marked the beginning of a long and influential reign that would last for over 63 years, making her the longest-reigning monarch in British history up until that point. Victoria's reign was marked by significant political and social changes, including the expansion of the British Empire, the Industrial Revolution, and the emergence of the Victorian era. This historical image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a visual representation of a pivotal moment in British history. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of the queen's gown to the ornate decorations in the background, serve to highlight the grandeur and importance of the occasion. The image is a testament to the skill of the engraver and the artist, as well as the historical significance of the subject matter.
