EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a historic moment in British military and royal history: the arrival of Queen Victoria at Chobham Camp in Surrey, England, in 1853. The image, taken from Magnet Hill, showcases the grandeur of the scene as the monarch and her entourage make their way towards the military camp, surrounded by a sea of soldiers and onlookers. Chobham Camp, established in 1852, was one of several temporary encampments built to house British troops during the Crimean War. Queen Victoria's visit was a significant morale booster for the soldiers, who were preparing to depart for the front lines. The Queen's presence served as a reminder of their duty to the crown and the importance of their role in defending the nation. The photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, is a testament to the historical significance of Chobham Camp and the role it played in British military history. The image also offers a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of the Victorian era, with the Queen's elaborate attire and the soldiers' uniforms on full display. The hilltop vantage point from which the photograph was taken adds to the sense of grandeur and importance of the scene. Magnet Hill, located in Chobham Common, has been a popular spot for viewing military encampments since the 18th century. Today, the site remains a popular destination for history enthusiasts and those interested in the military history of Surrey. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a pivotal moment in British military and royal history, and a fascinating glimpse into the past. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and the importance of their role in defending the nation, as well as the enduring legacy of the British monarchy.
