This exhibition of watercolours at the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath showed a beautifully documented trip that Queen Victoria took to Paris in 1855 and as I went around it alone (Nigel was maximising his time in Bath by going back to the hotel room to read every single word printed, uttered and recorded about the last All Blacks game against the Springboks - who BTW were trounced 57 to NIL) Anyway it came to me that these watercolours commissioned by the Widow of Windsor were a bit of early social media - a few selfies, several pictures of her food, the recording of the disco and the added bonus was that Prince Albert 'liked' it all.
