EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1865, offers a rare glimpse into the private world of Queen Victoria (1819-1901), the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Seated at her ornate desk adorned with intricate carvings and a crimson velvet cover, the Queen is engrossed in her work, her expression one of deep concentration. But she is not alone in this tranquil study. At her feet, a loyal dachshund, believed to be her favorite pet named Waldie, keeps her company. The Queen's affection for dachshunds is well-documented in historical records. She is known to have owned several of these short-legged dogs throughout her long reign, and they were often depicted in paintings and photographs with her. The breed's unique appearance, with its long body and short legs, was a striking contrast to the Queen's voluminous crinoline skirt and grand surroundings. This photograph, a testament to the Queen's love for her pets, also speaks to the deep bond between monarch and dog. The dachshund, with its alert and curious expression, seems to share in the Queen's focus and dedication, adding a touch of warmth and familiarity to this formal portrait. Taken during the height of Victoria's reign, this photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a monarch who ruled with unwavering loyalty and dedication, both to her country and her beloved pets. The image of the Queen and her dachshund, Waldie, remains a cherished symbol of the enduring connection between royalty and their faithful companions.
