[Princess Helena]

It is not known whether the artists removed the photographs from the thick cardstock on which they had been mounted or obtained unmounted prints from the photographer. People also collected cards of the royal family, actors, and military heroes. So, the same images might appear in multiple albums. A woman’s collection of portraits visually displayed her social circle and favorite celebrities, such as the portraits of Queen Victoria’s children found in this collage. The unknown photocollagist of this album also created another grouping of the queen; her husband; their son Prince Edward; his wife, Princess Alexandra of Denmark; and their son Prince Albert Victor ([84.XA.1252.37](https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/108ZWV), [84.XA.1252.38](https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/108ZWW), [84.XA.1252.39](https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/109P74), [84.XA.1252.40](https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/109P7A), [84.XA.1252.41](https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/109P77)).
