These days the @jepnews photos at #JerseyArchive capture the excitement of Her Majesty The Queen’s Royal Visits to #Jersey. In the day of Queen Victoria, who came to the throne 185 yrs ago this week, it was down to celebrated artists to do the same when she visited the Island...
#DidYouKnow, it was during Queen Victoria’s visit in 1859 that she granted Grouville Bay royal status, having been so impressed by its beauty? This is why it is known as the Royal Bay of Grouville today.

“HAUNTED”

The young woman sits in calm, blue water, the source of life. There is a wound on her arm, a deep red mark: It is an injury that shows her loyalty and devotedness to Queen; it is a self-sacrifice to save her friend. The green of the overwhelming background supports a slight moment of hope and rescue – but there is also cold white snow. It shows her loneliness, but in Christian iconography it is also a symbol for purity and virtue.
