Victoria, Queen of Great Britain, India, etc. c. 1859

This 1859 print by George Baxter depicts Queen Victoria in full regalia, showcasing her as the powerful monarch of the British Empire. The image is a striking example of Baxter's innovative "patent oil-colour printing", which allowed for a greater range of colors and detail than traditional methods. Queen Victoria, seated on a throne, is adorned with jewels and royal garments, reflecting her authority and status. The print is now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
