Queen Victoria and Prince Albert loved Scotland dearly; and from the time of their first visit in 1842 they began to assemble a notable collection of watercolours for their Souvenir Albums, recording the places they had seen. Professional artists such as Sir Edwin Landseer,Carl Haag,James Giles,William Wyld and George Fripp were commissioned to record the appearance of the old and new castles at Balmoral and the royal holidays there: the excursions by pony,the dancing,stalking,shooting and fishing,as well as the Highland Games and the pure delight of life in the marvellous country far from the pressures of the south.After the Prince's death,a number of artists were summoned back to Balmoral to paint pictures that would preserve memories of happier days.The Queen's watercolours of the Highlands provided her with a constant source of pleasure and the creation of this fascinating collection is the central theme of Delia Millar's book.The author has made use of much unpublished material and many of the paintings selected for the illustration,which are almost exclusively drawn from the Royal Collection,have never been reproduced before. Delia Millar studied at the Courtnauld Institute and is at present working on the catalogue of the Victorian watercolours and drawings in the Royal Collection.Her husband,Sir Oliver Millar,is Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures.
