WILL SELL RELICS OF QUEEN VICTORIA
Some interesting personal relics of Queen Victoria are to be sold. There are ten lots altogether, and one of the most interesting is the late Queen's copy of Lett's diary of 1835, containing references to the monarch's own autograph to the letters she received. On the front cover is the inscription: "For Her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria, St. Leonards."
The original drawing is in pencil by Queen Victoria, one depicting an Italian-Swiss scene, the other "Grisi in the Character of Elvira," are also included, and both drawings are autographed by her.
More personal to the Queen is her first parasol, a creation of blue silk lined with white, with an ivory tip, and ivory terminals to the ribs. There is also the workbox she used when Princess Victoria, to which is attached a small silver disk engraved with the name "Princess Victoria," while it also encloses a letter certifying that the relics are genuine.
