I'm pretty sure this is from the decoration in the British Parliament, there is a series of all the kings and queens of England and they all have a gold background and a caption underneath, I think it was done in the Victorian period but I don't know for sure. Elizabeth

Can anyone tell me what the white things are on the shoulders? What can you tell me about the making of this gown?
