A single leaf from a commemorative volume for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee of 1887 is the subject here, photographed sometime between 1912 and 1920, decades after the celebrations. The title credits James McNeill Whistler with the design, an attribution worth treating with caution, since his best-known work of the period lies in painting and etching rather than commemorative printing. The jubilee drew crowds and festivities across the British Empire, and printed souvenirs like this one let people keep a lasting trace of the occasion.
