I hesitate to write a long description about the now second-longest reigning Monarch in British history, because so much is already known about her. I love that we have photos of her from later in her life (here she is a very young woman of only 17) that we can compare these early portrait depictions to. So I want to ask, who do you guys want to see? And what type of content do you like seeing? I’d love to get a general vibe of where everyone would like to see the page go/ which figures or genres you’d like more of in the future.
There are certain figures on my list right now that are hard to accomplish - Eleanor of Aquitaine (no good portraits, only a really old tomb), Mehmed the Conqueror (portrait angles are really hard to work with), and a ton of East Asian & Indian figures that are iconic but don’t have great portraits to work from.
