Unseen Photos of Queen Victoria

An extraordinary collection of over 200 previously unseen Royal photographs is to be exhibited at the Getty Center in LA as part of a new exhibition lifting the lid on the private life of Queen Victoria.

Some of the pictures show the Queen at the Scottish retreat, Balmoral or with her husband Prince Albert, posing for formal portraits, however it is bound to be the more relaxed glimpses of the Queen with all or some of her nine children that will garner the most attention.

The exhibition, entitled a royal passion: Queen Victoria and photography, opens at the Getty Center in Los Angeles on 4 February.
