Title: Victorian architecture
Passage: Victorian architecture is a series of architectural revival styles in the mid-to-late 19th century.  "Victorian" refers to the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901), called the Victorian era, during which period the styles known as Victorian were used in construction.  However, many elements of what is typically termed "Victorian" architecture did not become popular until later in Victoria's reign.  The styles often included interpretations and eclectic revivals of historic styles mixed with the introduction of Middle Eastern and Asian influences.  The name represents the British and French custom of naming architectural styles for a reigning monarch.  Within this naming and classification scheme, it follows Georgian architecture and later Regency architecture, and was succeeded by Edwardian architecture.
Title: Arthur Collins (courtier)
Passage: Arthur Collins CB, MVO, Commander, Hohenzollern Order (26 June 1845 – 21 November 1911), was Equerry and Comptroller for Princess Louise, Queen Victoria's 4th daughter and Gentleman Usher in the households of Queen Victoria and King Edward VII.  He attended Princess Louise in her role as the wife of John Campbell, 9th Duke of Argyll (at that time Marquis of Lorne), who was Governor General and Vice Regent of Canada between 1878 and 1883.  Collins represented Princess Louise at the funerals of Lord Beaconsfield, Benjamin Disraeli, and William Ewart Gladstone, the two competing Prime Ministers during Queen Victoria's reign.  Collins attended as a Gentleman Usher the coronation of King Edward VII and probably Victoria's funeral.
Title: Victorian era
Passage: In the history of the United Kingdom, the Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria's reign, from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901.  The era followed the Georgian period and preceded the Edwardian period, and its later half overlaps with the first part of the "Belle Époque" era of continental Europe.  Defined according to sensibilities and political concerns, the period is sometimes considered to begin with the passage of the Reform Act 1832.  The period is characterised as one of relative peace among the great powers (as established by the Congress of Vienna), increased economic activity, "refined sensibilities" and national self-confidence for Great Britain.
Title: Jerry Barrett
Passage: Jerry Barrett (1824–1906) was an English painter of the Victorian era.  His most notable work was the Crimean War depiction ""The Mission of Mercy: Nightingale receiving the wounded at Scutari"" (1858) which is in the National Portrait Gallery (London), paired with ""Queen Victoria's First Visit to her Wounded Soldiers"".  There is documentation to suggest that Barrett traveled to the Crimea to obtain sketches for his pictures.  "Queen Victoria's First Visit to Her Wounded Soldiers" was exhibited at the Royal Exhibition Gallery in Piccadilly in May, 1856, and engraved by Agnews.  It was Thomas Agnew who purchased "The Mission of Mercy" from the artist in August 1857, and exhibited it at Leggatt and Hayward Gallery in Cornhill in the summer of 1858 at the height of the Indian Mutiny.
Title: Victorian painting
Passage: Victorian painting refers to the distinctive styles of painting in the United Kingdom during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901).  Victoria's early reign was characterised by rapid industrial development and social and political change, which made the United Kingdom one of the most powerful and advanced nations in the world.  Painting in the early years of her reign was dominated by the Royal Academy of Arts and by the theories of its first president, Joshua Reynolds.  Reynolds and the academy were strongly influenced by the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael, and believed that it was the role of an artist to make the subject of their work appear as noble and idealised as possible.  This had proved a successful approach for artists in the pre-industrial period, where the main subjects of artistic commissions were portraits of the nobility and military and historical scenes.  By the time of Victoria's accession to the throne this approach was coming to be seen as stale and outdated.  The rise of the wealthy middle class had changed the art market, and a generation who had grown up in an industrial age believed in the importance of accuracy and attention to detail, and that the role of art was to reflect the world, not to idealise it.
Title: Statue of Queen Victoria, Bangalore
Passage: The Statue of Queen Victoria, Bangalore, is located at Queen's Park, next to Cubbon Park, Bangalore Cantonment, at the junction of 3 roads, at the border between the Cantonment and the Bangalore Pete.  The statue was unveiled on 5 February 1906 by the then Prince of Wales, George Frederick Ernest Albert (who later became King George V).  The statue was raised out of funds raised by the residents of the Bangalore Civil and Military Station and contributions made by Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV, the Maharaja of Mysore.  This Statue of Queen Victoria is one of the five of the original 50 statues of Queen Victoria which were installed in British India, to still stand at its original location.  The statue has blossoms of jacaranda falling around.  On the other end of Queen's Park is the Statue of King Edward VII, Bangalore.
Title: Regency era
Passage: The Regency in Great Britain was a period when King George III was deemed unfit to rule and his son ruled as his proxy as Prince Regent.  On the death of George III in 1820, the Prince Regent became George IV.  The term Regency (or Regency era) can refer to various stretches of time; some are longer than the decade of the formal Regency which lasted from 1811–1820.  The period from 1795 to 1837, which includes the latter part of the reign of George III and the reigns of his sons George IV and William IV, is often regarded as the Regency era, characterised by distinctive trends in British architecture, literature, fashions, politics, and culture.  The Regency era ended in 1837 when Queen Victoria succeeded William IV.

Passage: The Queen Victoria Statue stands in the grounds of the Manitoba Legislative Building, Winnipeg, Canada.  It was designed by the English sculptor George Frampton, it cost $15,000, and was paid for by a mixture of public funds and private donations.  Frampton used the same model of the seated queen in two other statues, the Statue of Queen Victoria, in St Helens, Merseyside, and the Memorial to Queen Victoria, in Leeds, West Yorkshire, both in England.  The statue was unveiled on 1 October 1904 by Sir Rodmond Roblin.  The statue depicts the queen seated on a throne with the sceptre in her right hand, and an orb in her left hand.
Title: Frank Paton
Passage: Frank Paton (23 November, 1855 – 13 November, 1909) was an English artist of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, best known for his paintings of animals and scenes of rural life.  He was a successful artist during his lifetime and could even count Queen Victoria as an admirer of his work.  His most famous compositions, "Fairest of Them All" and "Puss in Boots" (1880), have adorned many a wall in the form of plates and posters.  In addition, his series of printed Christmas cards published between 1880 and 1909 have become an affordable way for those interested in Paton's art to begin a collection.
