Overview
This photograph of Queen Victoria and her family was taken at Windsor in 1863, by John Jabez Edwin Mayall. This copy was published by Burton Brothers. It was fairly common at the time to for one photographer to publish another's work, without acknowledging the source.
The family is seated around a plaster bust of Queen Victoria's late husband, Prince Albert.
