Queen Victoria (1857)
Queen Victoria (1819 – 1901) led England into its industrial supremacy in Europe, boosted its economy, and greatly expanded its imperial reach. Upon passing, she had virtually conquered much of the planet. This photograph was once wrongly thought to have been taken by J. Mayall, truly being captured by Leonida Caldesi throughout April 1857. Caldesi would go on to capture plenty of Royals’ likenesses.
