FENTON (ROGER)

Two photographs from The Seasons series: 'Prince of Wales. 1854' and 'Prince of Wales and the Princess Helena as Winter', salted paper prints, mounted on album leaves, contemporary manuscript captions on the mounts, approximately 180 x 110mm., February 1854 (2)

Footnotes

Several of the images from this series of tableaux vivants (which included Princess Alice as 'Spring,' the Princess Royal and Prince Arthur as 'Summer,' Prince Alfred as 'Autumn,' and the Prince of Wales, amongst others, as 'Winter') were never published as Queen Victoria feared that they lacked the dignity becoming of Royal children.
