Description:The royal children spent many happy times at Osborne and we can still see objects relating to their childhoods on the estate today. One of the more unusual ways that Queen Victoria kept souvenirs of her children’s childhood was by commissioning marble copies of their forearms and feet . This example is the forearm of her sixth child and fourth daughter, Princess Louise (1848–1939). Princess and Prince Aribert of Anhalt, the Queen's granddaughter and grandson-in-law (representing the Duke of Anhalt) It was an age of innovation. Fabulous construction such as the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the world’s first, was built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1864.

Her continued presence during such a period of intense period of technological, economic and social change had helped place the monarchy at the centre of the nation’s identity. By the 1860s family photographs had become quite common in Victorian England. Successful photographic experiments had first been carried out in the 1820s but the ability to photograph people did not arrive until the work of Louis Daguerre and Henry Fox Talbot in the 1830s. Even though photography was now familiar it was still a slow process. Cameras were large and heavy and had long exposure times (the time the film had to be exposed to light) meaning that people had to stay very still throughout a session with a professional photographer. Only with the invention of simple hand held cameras in the early 1900s could ordinary people take their own ‘snaps’. Count Gleichen (Viktor Ferdinand Franz Eugen Gustav Adolf Constantin Friedrich Prinz von Hohenlohe-Langenburg) was the son of a half-sister of Queen Victoria. He served in the Royal Navy, and was promoted Admiral in 1887. After losing all his fortune in a bank crash, he became a professional sculptor and was accorded a studio in St James's Palace. He had been a pupil of William Theed (1804-1891), one of the sculptors favoured by Queen Victoria. Gleichen exhibited frequently at the Royal Academy, and his daughter Fedora, Countess Gleichen, also became a sculptor.The four effigieswhichappeared on coinage during Victoria's reign were the Young Head, the Godless or Gothic, the Jubilee Head and the Old Head.These portraits are all left facing.There are a number ofminor adjustments and variations for each bust. 5 Variations of the Young Head Portrait Duke Albrecht of Württemberg, the Queen's first cousin twice removed (representing the King of Württemberg) Den Watts ( Leslie Grantham) evicts Alfie Moon ( Shane Richie) and his family on Christmas Eve after buying the Vic.

The marble has been sensitively carved to reflect the texture of her skin and her meditative expression, as well as the soft swirls of cloth around her head and shoulders. Sir Peter Luff, Chair of NHMF, said: “A monarch who defined one of the most important eras of British history, captured by one of the era’s leading sculptors – that’s what makes this bust of Queen Victoria by Sir Albert Gilbert so special. Its loss from these shores was unthinkable and that’s why the National Heritage Memorial was so pleased to be able to step in with the final piece of funding, ensuring remains in the UK for future generations to study and enjoy” Notes to editors About the Fitzwilliam Museum
The Queen desires to congratulate the President upon the successful completion of this great international work, in which the Queen has taken the deepest interest.

The Queen has much pleasure in this communication with the President, and renewing to him her wishes for the prosperity of the United States.' By the time of Albert’s death, photography had already become part of the visual ritual of mourning, but it had a particular relevance for Victoria, as the monarch. Photography is what enabled her to mourn in private and yet be monarch in public; indeed, the photograph enabled the public and private to be synthesized. Moreover, the photographic image of Victoria in mourning became the template for her public image throughout the rest of her reign, an image which similarly balances the public and the private, duty and affect.

While the bust is highly realistic with soft swirls of cloth around the head and shoulders Gilbert, did not work from sittings with the monarch but from a bronze full-length figure of Queen Victoria and from photographs, using his own mother as a model for the drapery, saying at the time: “One was Queen of my country – the other Queen of my heart.”

During an argument with Grant Mitchell ( Ross Kemp) whilst confronting him about the affair, Tiffany Mitchell ( Martine McCutcheon) she attempts to leave but falls down the stairs and falsely accuses Grant of pushing her. Gilbert originally made a metal crown for the bust, but then decided against using it. Although he promised to make a replacement in marble, he never did, and this explains why the Queen is shown, most unusually, without a crown, and why there are three small holes drilled into the top of her head.
