This book of illustrations was produced to mark the visit of Queen Victoria to Jersey in 1846. Philip Ouless was a Jersey artist of some note, asked to make a pictorial record of the event. Edward Bartley brought his copy of the album to New Zealand with him in 1854. Here is a selection of images scanned from that album. Enjoy.
