And Martin Puryear.


Queen Victoria's passion for photography began in the 1840's.
On view in this magnificent show are rare daguerreotypes, private portraits of the Royal Family, and a selection of prints by early masters of photography.

July 1893

There are many photographs on view of which none are permitted to be reproduced which, of course, is correct.
 Please go see this exhibition and delight in the interior view of this family. The Queen produced nine children.
