Kings and Queens of England from the 19th Century

For reference, this page notes the monarchs for the whole 19th Century and thereafter.

• 1760-1820 George III

  George III in Brighton, by Chantrey.

• 1820-1830 George IV (son of George III)

  George IV by Chantrey, in Trafalgar Square.

• 1830-1837 William IV (brother of George IV)

  George IV in Greenwich by Nixon.

• 1837-1901 Victoria (neice of William IV)

  We have of course a multitude of Queen Victoria statues to choose from; the one below left is one of the most glorious, by Alfred Gilbert. The second one is a fairly typical one, in this case by Thomas Brock.

  Queen Victoria, in Winchester and in Birmingham

• 1901-1910 Edward VII (son of Victoria)

  We have not so many Edward VIIs as Victorias, but still a good choice, often on the frontages of buildings, as in the rather less than serious one below right.

  Edward VII in Bristol, by Poole. And in High Holborn, by Richard Garbe.

• 1910-1936 George V (son of Edward VII)

• 1936-1936 Edward VIII (son of George V)

• 1936-1952 George VI (brother of Edward VII)

  George VI in London, by William McMillan.

• 1952-to date Elizabeth II (daughter of George VI)

And of course, how can we have a Victorian-centred page without Albert, the Prince Consort. There are several excellent ones to choose from; this is from the memorial in Manchester.

Prince Albert, by Mathew Noble.
