EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, as the young Victoria receives the life-altering news of her uncle's passing and her ascension to the throne. Mary L. Gow's impression skillfully depicts the solemn yet powerful scene of Lord Conyngham kissing Queen Victoria's hand, with the Archbishop of Canterbury by her side.
In this intimate portrayal, we witness Queen Victoria still in her nightgown, having been abruptly awakened at 6 o'clock in the morning with news that would change the course of her life forever. The weight of responsibility and duty is palpable on her youthful face, as she grapples with the enormity of becoming queen at such a tender age.
Mary L. Gow's attention to detail and historical accuracy bring this momentous occasion to life, allowing us a glimpse into the inner world of one of Britain's most iconic monarchs. Through this photo print, we are transported back to June 20th, 1837, when a young girl became a queen - Your Majesty indeed.
This image serves as a poignant reminder of Queen Victoria's resilience and strength in facing adversity from such a young age, setting the stage for an extraordinary reign that would shape British history for years to come.
