EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white lantern slide captures a moment from Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee procession in London, held in 1897. The Duchess of Albany, Princess Helena, is seen here riding in a horse-drawn carriage, making her way through the crowded streets of the city. The Diamond Jubilee marked the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign, making it an important milestone in British history. The Duchess of Albany, the fifth child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, was born on May 25, 1846, and married Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein in 1866. She is seen here in her official capacity as a member of the British royal family, celebrating the long and historic reign of her mother. The scene depicted in this slide is one of jubilation and excitement, as the people of London turn out in large numbers to catch a glimpse of the royal procession. The crowds are dense, with onlookers pressed against the sides of the street, eager to catch a glimpse of the passing carriages and the royals themselves. The Duchess of Albany's carriage is pulled by a team of well-groomed horses, their heads held high as they navigate the throngs of people lining the streets. The carriage is adorned with royal insignia and banners, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. This lantern slide is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the pomp and pageantry of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebration. It is a reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds the British monarchy, and the enduring appeal of royal events to the people of the United Kingdom and beyond.
