EDITORS COMMENTS
The Grand Vestibule - departure of Her Majesty, 1844. A historic moment captured in this photo print. The image showcases the opening of the new Royal Exchange building in the City of London, a grand architectural masterpiece designed by Sir William Tite. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are seen bidding farewell as they take their leave from this magnificent structure. The Lord Mayor of London, William Magnay, stands tall carrying the City sword of state, symbolizing his authority and importance in this ceremonial event. Surrounding them are officials and dignitaries who have gathered to witness this significant occasion. This engraving from the Illustrated London News provides a glimpse into 19th-century Britain's finance and political landscape. It portrays not only the monarch but also highlights the role played by various individuals in official positions during that era. Queen Victoria, known as Alexandrina Victoria at that time, was not only Queen of Great Britain and Ireland but also Empress of India. This regal title is reflected through her elegant presence alongside Prince Albert, her beloved husband and Prince Consort. As we delve into history through this photograph print, we can appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back to a time when royalty reigned supreme.
