EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic view captures a significant moment in British history - the grand procession of Her Majesty Queen Caroline as she makes her way to St. Paul's Cathedral on 20th November 1820. Published in 1821, this aquatint print by an anonymous English artist showcases the opulence and splendor associated with royal events during the 19th century. The image evokes a sense of scandal and controversy surrounding Queen Caroline, who was accused of adultery by her estranged husband, King George IV. Despite facing public scrutiny and political pressure, she maintained immense support from the crowds depicted in this artwork. Intricately detailed carriages carry Queen Caroline and her entourage through the streets of London, while caricatures lining the route add a touch of humor to this otherwise solemn occasion. The composition highlights both the magnitude of public interest in royal affairs and the power dynamics within Britain's ruling class. This print serves as a testament to not only Queen Caroline's resilience but also to England's fascination with its monarchy. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into a pivotal moment in British history that shaped perceptions of royalty for years to come. Displayed proudly at London Metropolitan Archives, City of London, this piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect upon themes such as scandal, acquittal, loyalty, and ultimately reminds us why British royalty continues to captivate our imagination even today.
