Albert and Victoria gifted decorative objects featuring photographs
After Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-73)
Bracelet with photographs of royal children 1854-57
Silver plated bracelet with photographic portraits | 1.7 x 20.3 x 0.6 cm (whole object) | RCIN 52384
A silver-plated bracelet featuring nine photographic portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's children. The portraits are framed and joined by double-winged putti heads. The final portrait of Princess Beatrice is suspended by a single winged putto head.
As the bracelet was given to Queen Victoria in 1854, it is likely the putto feature, holding a photographic portrait of Princess Beatrice, was added later, after her birth in 1857.
