New Photographs of the Queen . —The best photographs of Her Majesty the Queen
that we have seen for a long time are those recently taken by Messrs — . W . & — D — . Downey — — —
and just % / published % f by Messrs . Marion and Co . , , of Soho Square . Photographic art can show
few examples of better work , the likeness being admirable in every respect . The Queen , who
is dressed in black , wears several orders and a small crown . These photographs can be had
in various forms . The beautiful ' panel' portrait is an eminently successful representation ;
but the same may be said of the other styles , all of which are sure to command public favour .

As a companion work to the above , we must also refer to ' Debrett's House of Commons
