EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dating back to 1850, depicts a significant moment in British history as the Deputation from the Court of Lieutenancy of the City of London presented their grievances to Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle. The City of London, along with the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, expressed their indignation towards the Bishop of Rome, or the Pope, for attempting to exercise a power that the realm of England had long ignored. The image showcases a distinguished group of men, led by the Right Hon. J.S. Wortley, the Recorder of London, who reads out the address of the Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen in clear and audible tones. The men are dressed in their formal attire, including robes and chains of office, reflecting their high status and authority. The Queen, depicted in her regal attire and adorned with the Empress of India crown, listens intently to the address. The print, which is an engraving from the Illustrated London News, captures the fashion trends of the Victorian era, with the men wearing tailored suits, waistcoats, and top hats, while the women are depicted in elegant dresses and bonnets. The print also highlights the religious and political tensions of the time, as the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church clashed over power and influence. This historic photograph print offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the fashion, politics, and religious landscape of 19th century Britain. It is a testament to the power of the press, as the Illustrated London News played a crucial role in documenting and disseminating important events to the public.
