EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Queen at Olympia" takes us back to a momentous occasion in the 19th century. The image showcases Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, as she is introduced to a pair of adorable lion cubs. This enchanting encounter took place in Kensington's Olympia, where the young lions were presented before their royal patron. The regal atmosphere is palpable as Queen Victoria gazes upon these majestic creatures with a mixture of curiosity and delight. Dressed in her elegant attire befitting her status, she exudes grace and poise while standing amidst an opulent setting. "The Queen at Olympia" captures not only the grandeur of royalty but also highlights the deep connection between humans and animals. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold great power can find joy and wonderment in simple pleasures such as meeting these magnificent feline companions. This historical print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on April 2nd, 1887. Preserved within private collections for years, it now resurfaces through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection to offer viewers a glimpse into this extraordinary moment from our past.
