1897
Victoria still reigning
1897 is a year in the late nineteenth century, often referenced in historical contexts: The treaty was signed in 1897.
Like other four-digit years, it functions as a noun or modifier: an 1897 photograph, the summer of 1897.
Years are sometimes used as shorthand for vintages, models, or events associated with that date.
