This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Secret of England's Greatness designed from a painting by Thomas Jones Barker shows Queen Victoria presenting a gift of the Bible to the Prince of Mombasa, Ali bin Nasr. He is shown bowing to the queen. He had asked the question about the secret of England's greatness, and that is when the queen handed him the Holy Bible as a gift. Prince Philip is standing right behind the queen, and the Duchess of Wellington is off to the side. Pictured on the other side are Lord John Russell, Foreign Minister and Lord Palmerston, Prime Minister. The colors in this scene are rich in tone befitting aristocracy and monarchy. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
