victorianlady1800 / Lady Estelle
(Sarah Forbes Bonetta) a African Princess
Sarah at the age of 8, I was taken to England, June of 1850, to meet with Queen Victoria. She became her godmother and benefactor.
As rare as it was for her Majesty to received guests, she took a liking to her. She owe her life to the Queen and the great Captain Forbes.
Enjoying the winter sunshine in the countryside - recent portrait of me, originally uploaded by Lady Pearl (Countess of Beaumont).
This is my dear friend Lady Pearl (Countess of Beaumont)
I absolute love this picture.
I do not know who the model is nor the photographer.
It is so Lacey and Sexy.
I have this love for Hats and Corsets. You are invited to come and share this love with me.
