Not on view

This portfolio cover, likely made by an amateur collector, consists of boards covered with ornamental paper (green printed with a black foliage pattern), with the top board decorated with a hand-colored lithograph that shows Prince Albert driving Queen Victoria and three of their children in an open carriage. The prince wears a garter star on his coat, and the queen and children have ermine edged coats. The couple's first three children were Victoria (b. 1840), Edward (b. 1841), and Alice (b. 1843).
