About the Subject.....
The Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria was celebrated on 20 June 1887 on the occassion of the fiftieth anniversary of her accession on 20 June 1837.
It was celebrated with a banquet to which 50 European kings and princes were invited.
On 20 June 1887 she had breakfast outdoors under the trees at Frogmore, where Prince Albert had been buried. She then travelled by train from Windsor Castle to Paddington then to Buckingham Palace for a royal banquet that evening. Fifty foreign kings and princes, along with the governing heads of Britain\'s overseas colonies and dominions, attended. She wrote in her diary:
Had a large family dinner. All the Royalties assembled in the Bow Room, and we dined in the Supper-room, which looked splendid with the buffet covered with the gold plate. The table was a large horseshoe one, with many lights on it.
The King of Denmark took me in, and Willy of Greece sat on my other side. The Princes were all in uniform, and the Princesses were all beautifully dressed. Afterwards we went into the Ballroom, where my band played.
The following day, she participated in a procession in an open landau through London to Westminster Abbey escorted by Colonial Indian cavalry.
On her return to the Palace, she went to her balcony and was cheered by the crowd. In the ballroom she distributed brooches made for the Jubilee to her family. In the evening, she put on a gown embroidered with silver roses, thistles and shamrocks and attended a banquet. Afterwards she received a procession of diplomats and Indian princes. She was then wheeled in her chair to sit and watch fireworks in the palace garden.
A commemorative bust of Victoria was commissioned from the sculptor Francis John Williamson. Many copies were made, and distributed throughout the British Empire.
In 1887, the famous \'pie village\' of Denby Dale, home to the Denby Dale Pie Company, created a pie to commemorate the event. It would then spoil, with a second baked a week later, becoming known as the Resurrection Pie.
Black Elk, Queen Kapiʻolani and Crown Princess Liliʻuokalani took part in her Golden Jubilee.
As part of the Jubilee year the First Colonial Conference was held in London.
In Malta, the town of Rabato was promoted to a city named \"Victoria\" on 10 June on the occasion of the Jubilee.
This portrait was painted as part of the Jubilee celebration program.

Life
Angeli was born in 1840 in Ödenburg, then part of the Austrian empire, now known as Sopron in Hungary.
He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, and in Munich, before moving back to Vienna in 1862. From 1870 he travelled between Berlin, London, and Vienna, producing portraits.
His success at society portraiture was partly due to his facility at depicting uniforms, pearls, and other jewels. As well as royalty and politicians, he painted other notable people, such as the German chemist August Wilhelm von Hofmann.In 1877 Buckingham Palace invited Ulysses S. Grant to have his portrait painted by Angeli.
