Queen Victoria - Britain\'s longest-ruling sovereign, headed Britain and its empire from 1837 until her death in January 1901. During the 19th century the small agricultural island nation exploded into a massive industrial powerhouse and her naval empire expanded its borders all over the world. From the introduction of railway and waterway networks to the huge advances in science and medicine, the Victorian era represented a great renaissance that catapulted Britain into the 20th century.These exquisite designs perfectly capture the splendour and atmosphere of this iconic time, and come set on a luxurious board produced by legendary chess maker Rechapados Ferrer S.A. of Spain.
