Old Photograph Queen Victoria Statue St Nicholas Lane Aberdeen Scotland
Old photograph of the Queen Victoria statue on St Nicholas Lane in Aberdeen, Scotland. This statue of Queen Victoria was sculpted by Alexander Brodie. The statue was inaugurated in 1866. The marble began to show weathering damage and was moved to the vestibule of the Town House in 1888. Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III. Both the Duke of Kent and King George III died in 1820, and Victoria was raised under close supervision by her German born mother, Princess Victoria of Saxe Coburg Saalfeld. She inherited the throne at the age of 18, after her father's three elder brothers had all died, leaving no surviving legitimate children.
