Illustration Friday: Déjà vu

I'm guessing Queen Victoria had a lot of those "gee, I feel like this has happened before" moments. She had 9 children and 42 grandchildren (despite the fact that she hated being pregnant and was repulsed by breast-feeding.) And in her extremely long reign as queen (longer than any woman in history) there were 7 assassination attempts on her life. One odd little fact about Victoria- she had "Bishopophobia."

    Love the little facts and the illustration. Is she wearing a watch?

    Nah, not a watch- a very large jeweled bracelet. :)

    I really like it, stunning illustration, the colors are very nice. Reminds me of when I attended school in England and studied the old fashion plates.
