BABY, child, bride, and widow--such are the four portraits of the
Queen's eldest daughter which we give above. An earlier portrait even
than the first of these, and one of the most interesting in existence,
is that which the Queen with her own hand depicted of her baby while it
was still in swaddling-clothes, and which we have the pleasure of
presenting to our readers as the frontispiece of the present number.
