The collection features portraits of English queens from “The Book of Beauty, or Regal Gallery,” published by the Countess of Blessington in the mid-19th century. in London. The engravings were made based on drawings by W. Frith, J. Wright, E. Corbuld, A. Bouvier and other artists of the early Victorian era. Although the gallery of portraits covers a large period of time, the women depicted in them, with few exceptions, resemble each other like sisters, and only the cut of the dress hints at a particular era. The artists emphasized beauty, tenderness and meekness in the images of queens, as in other female portraits, which was quite in the spirit of that time.
