Maybe you got from another source but it is as Michael notes totally false. In 1900 Queen Victoria was still reigning.

She is Queen Victoria! This image was from her corronation portrait in 1838. This likeness also appeared in the first set of Canadian postage stamps. That lady is not an allegory.
