Invitation to the first anniversary celebration of Queen Victoria's coronation, signed ''Victoria R'' as reigning monarch. Royal festivities were held in Westminster Abbey on 28 June 1838, one year after Victoria ascended the throne upon the death of William IV in 1837. Invitation is specially addressed to ''Our dearly beloved Aunt / The Duchess of Gloucester'' and reads in part, ''...These are to will and require you to make your personal attendance...'' Single-page invitation on card-style paper measures 7.75'' x 12.5''. Creasing, else fine in remarkably well-preserved condition. Invitations signed by the Queen herself are very rare.
