‘Isaac van Amburgh and his Animals’ By Sir Edwin Henry Landseer (1802 – 1873)
The celebrated American lion tamer during one of his daring performances in London, after the original painting of 1839 in The Royal Collection. Queen Victoria, who commissioned this portrait, took special interest in van Amburgh and his cats and saw his show several times, on one occasion remaining afterwards to watch him feed them. She subsequently commissioned Landseer to paint this portrait, which was then exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts - an impressive honour for the time.

‘Eos’
By Sir Edwin Henry Landseer (1802 – 1873) After the original oil painting in The Royal Collection. Prince Albert’s beloved greyhound stands poised and alert, guarding some of her master’s possessions – an opera hat, gloves and a cane. Prince Albert brought Eos with him from Germany when he married Queen Victoria in 1840. So great was his affection for the dog that the following year the Queen commissioned Sir Edwin Landseer to paint her portrait as a surprise Christmas present for him.

Pugin Musical Box A Musical Box playing an excerpt from Canon in D Major composed by Johann Pachelbel (1653 – 1706) The Canon in D Major by the celebrated German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel is one of the most recognised and best-loved compositions.

It has since become one of the most popular pieces of classical music.
