Book Description
From baby's first shoes, embroidered with tiny crowns, to golden rattles and miniver-trimmed short coats, this new book, the latest in Royal Collection Trust's best-selling series of Souvenir Albums, tells the story of eight royal babies, from Queen Victoria to the new prince. Using a wealth of previously unpublished items and documents from the Royal Collection and Royal Archives, it details the lives of seven of these royal babies from infancy and babyhood to first steps, and on to first days at school. Here are the dolls and teddy-bears, the prams and cots and tricycles, the lost teeth and locks of hair that all parents know and treasure, together with the little notes in childish scrawl, the family photographs, and the first dainty sets of 'best clothes'. And where else could such a celebration of baby- and childhood end, but with a chapter devoted to our new Prince, to bring this happy history up to the present day.

Book Description
"Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught was the third and favourite son of Queen Victoria. Born in 1850, he lived for almost 92 years, thus being "Witness of a Century" as one of his biographers chose to call him. Throughout his life he was a military man and from time to time would represent his mother, and later his brother and nephew, overseas in countries such as India and Canada. His wife, Louise Margaret of Prussia, was a serious-looking woman who ruled her children firmly. The eldest daughter, Princess Margaret, known as Daisy, became a beloved Crown Princess of Sweden and the grandmother of one King and two Queens: Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Margrethe II of Denmark and Anne-Marie of Greece. Their son, Prince Arthur of Connaught, was a hard-working and amiable if somewhat shy character who did not live long enough to become Duke. His wife, Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Fife, had a career as a nurse besides being a member of the Royal Family. The younger daughter, Princess Patricia (Patsy) was the Diana of her time and much loved by the public. After her marriage in 1919 to a commoner, Alexander Ramsay, she retired from royal life but would occasionally appear in her old role as Princess at family celebrations, coronations and jubilees. It is her daughter-in-law, The Lady Saltoun, who has generously allowed access to the Connaught family albums. Robert Golden has previously published three albums with pictures and accompanying stories pertaining to Queen Victoria's extended family; Relatively Royal, The Golden Book of Royalty and Definitely Royal. In this fourth volume, with more than 300 illustrations, he focuses on one of the branches, the Connaughts. Added to the album is a detailed illustrated genealogy of the ancestors and descendants of the Connaughts, compiled by Royal genealogist and publisher Ted Rosvall."--Publisher description.

Book Description
This beautifully illustrated study recaptures the rich history of women photographers and image collectors in nineteenth-century England. Situating the practice of collecting, exchanging and displaying photographs and other images in the context of feminine sociability, Patrizia Di Bello shows that albums express Victorian women's experience of modernity. The albums of individual women, and the broader feminine culture of collecting and displaying imagesare examined, uncovering the cross-references and fertilizations between women's albums and illustrated periodicals, and demonstrating the way albums and photography, itself, were represented in women's magazines, fashion plates, and popular novels. Bringing a sophisticated eye to overlooked images such as the family photograph, Di Bello not only illustrates their significance as historical documents but elucidates the visual rhetorics at play. In doing so, she identifies the connections between Victorian album-making and the work of modern-day amateurs and artists who use digital techniques to compile and decorate albums with Victorian-style borders and patterns. At a time when photographic album-making is being re-vitalised by digital technologies, this book rewrites the history of photographic albums, placing the female collector at its centre and offering an alternative history of photography focused on its uses rather than on its aesthetic or artistic considerations. It is remarkable in elegantly connecting the history of photography with the fields of material culture and women's studies.
