Black and white photograph of Queen Victoria, done for her Diamond Jubilee, 1897, by W. and D. Downey. She is seated, face in profile, holding a fan and wearing an elaborately embroidered floor-length dress, a small crown, a veil on the back of her head whose lace matches that of her skirt, a jewelled bracelet and drop earrings.
