Why this person mattered

Queen Victoria was the monarch of the United Kingdom from 1837 to 1901, whose reign saw significant industrial, cultural, political, and territorial expansion; her visit to Wolverhampton in 1866 to unveil a statue of Prince Albert highlights the national mourning and respect for her consort after his death.
