Queen Victoria's children often made cards and drawings for their parents as gifts on important dates, such as this watercolour executed by Princess Alice for her parents wedding anniversary on 10 February 1859. The young princess also recited the whole of Schiller's Das Lied von der Glocke for the royal couple on the day.

This drawing is housed in one of two volumes, compiled by Queen Victoria and containing works presented to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert by their nine children. For other items in the volume see Princes & Princesses album.
