'The Queen in her Bridal Dress', 1840. Creator: William Henry Mote.
'The Queen in her Bridal Dress', 1840. Portrait of Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland (1819-1901) wearing her lace-trimmed wedding dress and veil. She chose handmade Honiton lace in order to stimulate and support the English lace industry which had been in decline due to the advent of machine lace, causing widespread poverty and unemployment among skilled artisans. Victoria married Prince Albert in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace, Westminster, London, on 10 February 1840. [John Tallis & Company, London & New York]
