In the well deserved
celebration of HM The Queen becoming the longest reigning monarch in our known
history there have been many pictures of her as a younger woman in the media.
The previous
monarch whose length of reign she has passed was Queen Victoria. The photographs of her have been from the
period when she was in her later years and worn by time and events.
Her youth was
before the age of photography. So, to
redress the balance here is a portrait of Victoria of that time.
She too was a
lady who knew her own mind and could read the minds of others.
Our Queen must have an extraordinary perspective on life. She has seen so much, so many people, so many important events.
