Commentaires : Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897, celebrating her reign of 60 years, was a major event throughout the British Empire. The ceremony itself was held on June 22nd, 1897. This was a very positive time for the British Empire community and Victoria's long reign was seen as a time of great progress. Commemorative items were common. This stained glass window was put in place at the Riverside-Albert home of Abner Reid McClelan, the Lt. Governor of New Brunswick from 1896 to 1902. This house was in 1893 and is now known as Victoria Manor. McClelan (1831-1917) was born in Hopewell, New Brunswick and was a civil servant and a representative of Albert prior to Canadian Confederation. He was appointed a Canadian Senator from 1867 to 1896.
Fonctions : the earliest documentation of this stained glass window is a newspaper article from "The Maple Leaf " Albert N.B. November 18, 1897; in this article the window is called " Jubilee Memorial "; at this time the Lt. Gov. Abner McClelan was still alive and in residence although retired; purchased with McClelan House
