Victoria and Albert

Victoria and Albert — Evelyn Anthony | 1958 Book Club Edition | Original Dust Jacket

A handsome vintage copy of Victoria and Albert by Evelyn Anthony, published in 1958 by Thomas Y. Crowell Company, New York. This Book Club Edition retains its striking original illustrated dust jacket by Harry Barton.

Anthony's historical novel portrays Queen Victoria not simply as the formidable monarch of later years, but as a young woman deeply devoted to Prince Albert. Set against the early decades of Victoria's reign, the story brings their marriage, family life, court, and the personalities surrounding the royal household vividly to life.

The book is especially attractive beneath the jacket, with a distinctive red and gray binding and embossed crown decoration on the front board.
