The Royal Chain of Family Line
Commemorative cotton handkerchief (1853-1857) produced before the birth of Queen Victoria's last child, Princess Beatrice, born in 1857. Like many handkerchiefs of the period, it has been printed hastily, causing the image to run untrue to the grain, so that it cannot now be straightened.
The handkerchief is entitled 'THE ROYAL CHAIN OR FAMILY LINK' and bears portraits of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and eight of their children with their dates of birth and rhyming couplet describing each one, bordered by the flowers of the United Kingdom.
