| Queen Victoria, 1854 Brian Edward Duppa The Royal Collection |
The deep love between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert is legendary. The two often surprised one another with special gifts and mementos. They also shared a passionate interest in photography. In July of 1854, Queen Victoria commissioned photographer Brian Edward Duppa to take a photo of her looking adoringly at a photographic portrait of her husband which Duppa had taken months earlier. She presented the photograph as a gift to Prince Albert on July 5, 1854.
