This is an excellent example of the Victorian static panorama view allowing a broad sweep of the subject to be represented. It was, perhaps, a deluxe souvenir, for visitors to Windsor Castle at that time. The shading effects in the printing suggest an aquatint rather than an engraving, the acid technique used allowing gradations of tone. It is possible that there was the addition of some hand colouring as well. The maple veneer frame along with gilt edging is most likely original and probably fitted with the original glass making it a fine and complementary setting for this virtuoso production.
