An album containing a series of coloured lithographs after Joseph Nash's watercolour views of the interior and exterior of Windsor Castle interleaved with texts describing each view; with the bookplate of King Edward VII; with a frontispiece featuring a lithograph vignette of the royal entrance to the Quadrangle; with a dedication to the Queen from Joseph Nash; with explanatory text; with a list of the plates.
Nash appears to have first worked for Victoria and Albert in 1844, when he was commissioned to record events from the visits of, first, the Emperor of Russia and then Louis-Philippe, King of the French. This lithograph was produced by Nash as an illustration for his publication Views of the Interior and Exterior of Windsor Castle (1848), which he dedicated to the Queen. The introduction states: "On the various occasions when the Continental Sovereigns were entertained by Her Majesty at Windsor Castle, Mr Nash had the honour of receiving Her Majesty's commands to make Drawings of the scenes illustrative of the state and ceremony which distinguish the Royal hospitality". As well as such narrative scenes (see, for example, RCIN 817132.j), Nash's publication also included illustrations of rooms and spaces within the Castle (see RCIN 817132.y), which must have been made with Victoria and Albert's permission. Some watercolours by Nash connected with the publication are in the Royal Collection; three were acquired by Victoria and Albert for their watercolour albums, but the majority were purchased in the twentieth century. A complete set of 26 watercolours, which are probably the final works on which the lithographs in the publication were based, is in the collection of Anglesey Abbey (National Trust).Provenance
? Purchased by Prince Albert from Maclean's Gallery, 1849
