Sixty Years of the Queen - a collection of pamphlets published on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria - photographs originating in the Queen's own court. London, 1897
SIXTY YEARS A QUEEN THE STORY OF VICTORIA'S REIGN TOLD BY SIR HERBERT MAXWELL - A set of Magnificent sheets 1-10 which were published on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria. Published by HARMSWORTH BROS LIMITED, London 1897. The pamphlets were published once every two weeks, in which Herbert Maxwell describes the important events which took place during the sixty years of her reign. The pamphlets are accompanied by hundreds of historical photographs originating from the royal collections, photographs which were brought in with the Queen's personal consent, and many of which appeared in these pamphlets for the first time. Likewise, the events of the battles documented in them are taken from original sketches and photographs from the Queen's own court. Very rare.
The first booklet contains an impressive color lithograph of Queen Victoria, rare photographs from the Queen's childhood years when she was 4, as well as photographs from her wedding day. In issue No. 9, historical photographs from the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the Queen. The covers are all in color.
