EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet intimacy in the home life of Queen Victoria, taken in the early months of the new century. Seated in a comfortable armchair, the venerable monarch, dressed in black mourning attire, focuses intently on her knitting needles as she listens to Princess Henry of Battenberg (1857-1921), her granddaughter-in-law, read the latest news from a newspaper. The image, dated 7th January 1901, offers a rare glimpse into the private world of the longest-reigning monarch in British history, who ruled from 1837 until her death in 1901. Princess Henry of Battenberg, born Princess Irene of Hesse and by Rhine, was the wife of Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, and the mother of Prince George, Duke of York, who later became King George V. Her presence in the royal household brought a sense of modernity and international flair, as she was of German descent and had grown up in Darmstadt, Germany. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, provides a poignant reminder of the human side of Queen Victoria, who was known for her dedication to her family and her love of needlework. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between the monarch and her granddaughter-in-law, as well as a snapshot of the changing times, with the turn of the century bringing new influences and perspectives to the British monarchy.
