The Queen at Aix-Les-Bains: the Royal Family at the entrance of the Grotto, 1890. 'Prince Henry of Battenberg, Marquis of Lorne, Princess Marguerite of Connaught, The Queen, Princess Victoria Patricia of Connaught, Prince Arthur of Connaught, Princess Henry of Battenberg. Her Majesty [Queen Victoria]'s sojourn at Aix-les-Bains, accompanied by Prince and Princess Henry of Battenberg, terminated on Tuesday, April 22, when, at four in the afternoon, the Royal party left that place for Darmstadt, travelling by way of Geneva and Lausanne, and through Switzerland and Baden. Some Illustrations of Aix-les-Bains and its neighbourhood, with the villa which was occupied by the Queen, have been published in our Journal. At the time when the children of the Duke of Connaught were there with their Royal grandmother and aunt, a photograph of the whole family party was taken, by M. Numa Blanc fils (of Aix-les-Bains, Cannes, and Monte Carlo), which we are permitted to reproduce. It was taken at the entrance to the Grotto, in the grounds of the Grand Cercle des Bains, adjacent to the Villa Victoria and to the Grand Hotel Bernascon'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
