Her Majesty Victoria the Greatest!
ReplyDeletelovely portraits!
ReplyDeleteVery nice portraits but I understand she was a formidable person.
ReplyDeleteQueen Victoria's history fascinates me, there's so much drama to her reign. I'm a bit of a Henry VIII nut as well.
ReplyDeleteYou would like your head to be chopped off?
DeleteThese portraits are new to me, thanks for posting them. Makes me want to watch the movie, "The Young Victoria."
ReplyDeleteI actually saw some of Victoria Regina's hair, plaited into a bracelet, not long ago.
ReplyDeleteThe Victorians were indeed known to preserve hair samples.
