EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dating back to 1858, depicts Queen Victoria's royal yacht, Victoria and Albert, en route to Cherbourg, France, accompanied by Vice-Admiral Lyons' squadron. The squadron consisted of the powerful warships Terrible, Valorous, and Royal Albert, with their respective flags proudly hoisted. Renown, Orion, Hannibal, Caesar, Diadem, Brunswick, Euryalis, Arrogant, and Racoon also sailed alongside. The scene unfolds as the Victoria and Albert sets sail, with the wind moderately blowing west-south-west, the tide against it. The royal yacht, adorned with the Admiralty flag from its foremast, the Royal standard from its mainmast, and the Union Jack from its mizen-mast and stern, started its journey at nine minutes past twelve. The passage across the English Channel was smooth, and at seven o'clock, Her Majesty Queen Victoria arrived in Cherbourg, greeted by the French fleet with a grand salute. The photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the grandeur of the British monarchy and the might of the Royal Navy during the 19th century. This evocative engraving was published in the Illustrated London News, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of a royal event. The intricate details of the ships, the smoke rising from their funnels, and the water transport in full swing, all contribute to the rich narrative of this image.
