Victoria was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death, a rule of for 64 years, a record only recently surpassed by Queen Elizabeth II. Victoria posed for a number of head portraits, but there are generally three major variants: Young Head (1838-1887) by William Wyon, RA; Jubilee Head (1887-1893) by Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm and Old Head (1893-1901) by by Sir Thomas Brock.
