Queen of Great Britain and Ireland (born 1819) from 1837 until her death in 1901. Her more than 63 years on the throne remains unmatched in the history of Great Britain and ranks her among the longest-reigning monarchs of any nation in modern times. The unprecedented growth and prosperity of the British Empire under her rule—as well as a strangely prescient public fascination with the queen and her family—made her one of the most celebrated public figures of her day, and her name would become synonymous with an entire age. Partly engraved DS, signed “Victoria R.I.,” one page, 15.75 x 12, February 28, 1878. An appointment for George James Francis Talbot as lieutenant in the Land Forces. Two embossed paper seals remain intact in the left margin. Vertical folds (short edge separations) and scattered mild soiling with a few small, faint stains, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
