HRH The Duchess of York TRAVELS WITH QUEEN VICTORIA First Edition Signed

First edition first print hardback of TRAVELS WITH QUEEN VICTORIA by HRH The Duchess of York (Sarah Ferguson) and Benita Stoney and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 1993. Signed to a previous owner and dated by The Duchess of York on the title page.

The book is in near fine condition (blue cloth boards with silver lettering to spine) with no significant wear. The book is in a very good unclipped dust jacket which has light creasing to edges. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.

HRH The Duchess of York, Benita Stoney and photographer Robin Matthews set out on a royal adventure story, a journey back into the past, retracing Queen Victoria's travels abroad. With the help of her diaries and sketchbooks and the bound volumes of watercolours of her journeys kept at Windsor Castle they have created their own itinerary, revisting palaces and forgotten castles. The text mingles Queen Victoria's descriptions with the authors' impressions of place and period, while the illustrations juxtapose contemporary photographs and Victorian watercolours. Primarily the record of a modern adventure, the book also provides an insight into the Victorian past.
