Equestrian Statue of Charles XIV. (Bernadotte) just inaugurated at Stockholm, 1854. Unveiling of bronze sculpture Bengt Erland Fogelberg, of the King of Sweden on the 40th anniversary of the union between Sweden and Norway. The troops, with their respective colours; the numerous vessels in the harbour, with their flags displayed; the vast crowd of people who thronged all the avenues to the square and gazed from roofs and windows, produced the most festive appearance...His Majesty [Oscar I of Sweden]...gave the sign for the unveiling the Statue. The kingly glance and earnest familiar features of Carl Johan were then revealed. His Majesty drew his sword and bowed: all who stood round the Statue uncovered their heads; the troops presented arms; banners waved; and a salute was fired, not only from the shipping in the harbour, but from the Castle'.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the grand inauguration of the Equestrian Statue of Charles XIV (Bernadotte) in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1854. The statue, created by an unknown artist, was unveiled on the 40th anniversary of the union between Sweden and Norway. The occasion was marked by an impressive display of military might and popular enthusiasm. Troops with their colors, numerous vessels in the harbor with their flags, and a vast crowd of people gathered around the square, creating a festive atmosphere. King Oscar I of Sweden presided over the ceremony, giving the signal for the unveiling of the statue. As the statue was revealed, the kingly gaze and earnest features of Carl Johan, the depicted monarch, were revealed to the admiring crowd. King Oscar drew his sword and bowed, signaling respect, while the troops presented arms, banners waved, and a salute was fired from both the harbor ships and the castle. This historic moment was captured in the pages of the Illustrated London News, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of 19th-century European royalty.
