A carte-de-visite portrait of Jane Spencer, Lady Churchill: full length, standing and leaning against a desk or whatnot, wearing a hat and holding an umbrella. Lady Churchill was Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Victoria from 1854 until her death on Christmas Eve 1900, making her the longest serving member of Queen Victoria's household.
Provenance
Photograph from an album that belonged to Alfred Evans (1857-1948), who was a Dean Ringer at St George's Chapel, having been in the service of the Royal Family for 53 years, possibly starting 1896. Before that, he served on board HMS Bacchante when Prince Albert Victor and Prince George (later King George V) were on their World Tour. This album belonged to his daughter, Mary, who died in 1970, and was bequeathed to Mrs French who presented the album to the Royal Archives c. 1973.
