'...a beautiful tableau, one of the most delightful in the Exhibition. You see her Majesty sitting at a table, writing by the light of a lamp. This gracious lady, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, came to the throne in 1837, and died in 1901, having reigned longer that any other British Sovereign.
