A pencil drawing showing a view of the skyline of Potsdam. A large domed building is shown in the centre, possibly St Nicholas' Church, Potsdam. The spire of the St Nicholas' Church, Spandau is shown to the right. Inscribed lower right: Aug: 21. 1858. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited their eldest daughter, Victoria, Princess Royal, in Germany in August 1858. It was the first time Queen Victoria had seen her daughter since her wedding and subsequent move to Germany earlier that year. The Queen and Prince Consort stayed with the pregnant Princess Royal at Babelsberg Palace in Potsdam until 28 August when they left for Cologne. On 21 August 1858 Queen Victoria visited the unfinished Belvedere on the Pfingstberg. In her journal entry of that day the Queen describes how the Belvedere "[commands] a most splendid view, over the Havel, Heiligersee, (on which the Marmor Palais stands), Potsdam, &c — & one can see the spire of Spandau".
