VICTORIA (1819-1901, Queen of Great Britain)

Signature and inscription from a document "App[rove]d Victoria R", with a cabinet photo by Webster of London, c. 1900, of the Queen's attractive portrait, as engraved by B.P. Gibbon after William Fowler the elder, 1838, showing her head and shoulders, décolletée, nearly full face, with coronet and garter star, and wearing an ermine tippet, mounted in an oval from a Victorian photo album, and framed c. 1900 with the signature below, 12" x 10", the signature c.

Underlying the inscription, faintly pencilled, are the words "[H]ere Her Majesty will graciously be pleased to [si]gnify her commands". The engraving is a fine copy of the portrait now at Windsor, differing only in that the top of the dress is in simple folds rather than fine embroidery.
