Fine panorama of Queen Victoria's wedding to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1840 at the Chapel Royal at St. James's Palace, resplendent with the pomp and ceremony one might expect from the first marriage of a reigning English Queen since Queen Mary in 1554. Queen Victoria was just 21 at the time, and her husband a few months younger. They were married for 21 years during which time they had 9 children.

Hand-coloured aquatint panorama heightened with gum arabic, c. 10.5 x 626 cm., on conjoined sheets and folding concertina-style, split into 2 parts with first half attached to front board and second part to rear, one fold reinforced, some light soiling; folding into modern cloth folder preserving original upper cover titled and decorated in gilt and with metal clasp, with publisher's original paper label to front pastedown, upper cover rubbed and a little stained, lacking lower clasp

Abbey (Life), 546; Bobins 1304 (this copy).
