Visit of Her Majesty to the Camp, at Aldershott, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Visit of Her Majesty to the Camp, at Aldershott, 1856. British Army garrison in Hampshire. On every side there is merely a waste boggy moor, dreary and repellent in its aspect. In the distance are the black huts of the Camp, quite in keeping with the moor on which they stand; and in the foreground is a long narrow piece of muddy water called the Basingstoke Canal, into which occasionally the waters of the surrounding bogs drain'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Visit of Her Majesty to the Camp, at Aldershott, 1856," showcases a significant historical moment in the British Army's history. The image, created by an unknown artist for the "Illustrated London News," depicts Queen Victoria's visit to Aldershot Garrison in Hampshire, England. The Queen, who served as Empress of India at the time, is seen touring the military camp amidst the picturesque yet challenging terrain of the Aldershot moorlands. The scene presents a stark contrast between the barren, boggy moorlands and the black huts of the camp, which seem to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. In the foreground, a narrow piece of muddy water called the Basingstoke Canal reflects the surrounding environment, adding to the overall sense of isolation and ruggedness. The visit to Aldershot was an essential part of Queen Victoria's role as the monarch of the British Empire, which required her to maintain a strong military presence. The image encapsulates the challenging conditions under which the British Army operated during the 19th century, as well as the Queen's unwavering commitment to her duties. The photograph print, which is engraved and dates back to 1856, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the lives of the British military during this era. It is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the soldiers who served their country, as well as the enduring legacy of Queen Victoria as a symbol of British strength and unity.
