The mobilization of the Queen’s photographic image from 1861 made her mourning accessible to her subjects in Britain, throughout the empire, and beyond, as well as cementing the personal relationships that shore up royal authority in theory and practice. Moving between public and private, the photograph suggests affective connections between the Queen and her subjects, a suggestion that has political efficacy and was exploited by Victoria. This synthesis of the private and the public, emotion and power, as represented in and through photography, serves as an underpinning for later images of Victoria as widow — her mourning (or the memory of mourning) becomes an implicit feature of her image in later life. Notes London was the first city to open a steam-powered single line multi-station underground railway in 1863, designed by John Fowles.
It’s thanks to Queen Victoria that we can enjoy visiting her birthplace of Kensington Palace, which she opened to the public in 1899. Sir Alfred Gilbert, (1854-1934) was the most brilliant and talented sculptor of his age, transforming British sculpture at the end of the 19th century. He is best known for the Shaftesbury Memorial, 'Eros' at Piccadilly Circus and the magnificent tomb to Prince Edward, Duke of Clarence, in St George’s Chapel, Windsor. His remarkable depiction of Queen Victoria towards the end of her life was sensitively carved, between 1887 and 1889, to reflect a range of textures - the monarch’s ageing skin, lace, jewels and her meditative expression. Gilbert rarely worked in marble; most of his sculptures are in bronze, making this piece even more exceptional.
This larger-than-life portrait of Queen Victoria, ageing, careworn, and sad, was sculpted between 1887-1889 as she celebrated 50 years on the throne.
This criticism entered the House of Commons, where Goschen answered questions about the new coinage on 23 and 28 June. The chancellor told MPs that Royal Mint officials preferred artistic designs from past times for the coinage rather than text stating their values. The public, however, did not confuse the florin and half crown, and they would not confuse the double florin and crown. The Conservative MP, Lewis Henry Isaacs, asked whether the coins could be called in and more suitable designs made. Goschen responded that public demand for the new coins had been so great a premium was being paid for the five-pound piece and that the depiction of the queen was similar to other authorised depictions of her.

To show that she was a woman as well as a queen, Victoria wore a simple white dress instead of royal robes, a style followed by many brides ever since.

This lesson uses two photographs to explore Queen Victoria’s relationship with her family. In our census detective lesson there is a copy of Queen Victoria’s census in 1851. Students can compare this to the photograph in this lesson. The lesson could be extended to work with decoding other photographs or portraits, for example the photograph in the lesson on 19th people also shown in related resources. Why are people shown the way they are? Children could write about or draw their own family portrait. How would they like to be portrayed? By 1818/19, a succession crisis was looming. In 1817, George IV’s only daughter Princess Charlotte had died giving birth to a stillborn son, wiping out two generations of heirs to the throne in one tragic blow. This prompted a desperate ‘baby race’ among the King’s unmarried brothers to produce a legitimate heir. Personal albums of the Victorian period frequently combined portraits of relatives and friends with portraits of local and national celebrities. See, for example, Louis Joseph Ghémar, Queen Victoria and Princess Beatrice, October 1862, albumen print, National Portrait Gallery, Ax9755, within an album compiled by the family of Samuel Wilberforce (1805–1873).

Count Gleichen (Viktor Ferdinand Franz Eugen Gustav Adolf Constantin Friedrich Prinz von Hohenlohe-Langenburg) was the son of a half-sister of Queen Victoria. He served in the Royal Navy, and was promoted Admiral in 1887. After losing all his fortune in a bank crash, he became a professional sculptor and was accorded a studio in St James's Palace. He had been a pupil of William Theed (1804-1891), one of the sculptors favoured by Queen Victoria. Gleichen exhibited frequently at the Royal Academy, and his daughter Fedora, Countess Gleichen, also became a sculptor. Marble busts were among the most popular and prestigious types of public portrait undertaken in Britain during the Victorian period. The marble, a relatively expensive material, was imported, usually from Italy via The Netherlands, since there are no marble quarries in this country. The skills needed to carve marble might also be learned abroad, where an aspiring artist would probably gain his most important training assisting an established sculptor. The rooms that she grew up in provide a fascinating glimpse into her former life. The statue of her, created by her daughter Princess Louise and unveiled in 1893, still stands outside the palace today. Forrer, Leonard (1904).

To do good was your aspiration and you were joy and happiness to us’: mourning photography and family memory In some centres, the children's concerts were quite extravagant. The Band of the Royal Grenadiers provided musical support for the Festival Chorus of the Toronto School Children's performance at Exhibition Park in Toronto. It featured several well-known patriotic and traditional songs, as well as other pieces created especially for the occasion, in addition to renditions of God Save the Queen, The Maple Leaf Forever, and Rule, Britannia!. [7] Guests at the Jubilee celebrations [ edit ] British royal family [ edit ] The ivory is a small-scale reproduction of the marble bust by Francis Chantrey (1781-1841), the first version of which is signed and dated 1839. This was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1840, and is now in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle. A slightly later replica, of higher quality, was acquired by Sir Robert Peel from Chantrey's studio in 1844, and is now in the National Portrait Gallery. Cheverton’s work was evidently esteemed within the highest levels of society. In 1845, this ivory bust was shown at the Royal Society, at a soirée hosted by the President, the Marquis of Northampton, and attended by Prince Albert.
The effigy of Queen Victo In Victoria's honour, brand-new music was created, which endured for decades. Many of the patriotic vocal works of the Jubilee year combined expressions of Canadian loyalty with effusive panegyrics to Victoria. Roberta Geddes-Harvey, one of Canada's first female composers, composed words and music for Victoria the Rose of England (Canada's Greeting to the Queen on her Diamond Jubilee): [7] Lant, Jeffrey L.
