The Wuthering Heights first published in 1847 isn't quite the version we know today... Our new facsimile reproduces the first edition, before Charlotte Brontë's later revisions. Here's a closer look at the original and the story behind this new publication 👇

#OnThisDay in 1840, Queen Victoria married Prince Albert. Unusually for brides of the time, she wore a white dress, a symbol not so much of purity than of wealth, which proved immensely influential. 📸 Getty

A historic engraving depicts the wedding ceremony of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in a grand hall. The couple stands at the center, surrounded by elegantly dressed guests. The architecture features tall stained glass windows and ornate columns. The scene conveys a sense of regal formality and celebration.
