專家說明

The present lot, a personal gift from Queen Victoria to her Great Grandson Prince Albert of York in July 1894 was undoubtedly intended to mark the birth and christening of the Prince. This lot was recorded in a photograph of the Duke of Windsor at his home in Paris. The Duchess of Windsor wrote 'This room represents the Duke's life', and lists the items of particular significance in the room including this 'silver statuette of Queen Victoria.' The statue is based on Joseph Edgar Boehm's famed commission to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, installed on Castle Hill at Windsor Castle. The gift of this silver statue by Queen Victoria to her infant godson was a powerful statement about the dynasty into which he was born.
