EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - the grand procession of Marie de Medici along Cheapside, City of London, in 1638. The French Queen's visit to King Charles I and Henrietta Maria was a significant event filled with pageantry and splendor. In this image, we witness the Queen's entourage passing by the Eleanor Cross and the Little Conduit on Cheapside, as seen from Friday Street. The scene is bustling with activity as people line the streets to catch a glimpse of royalty. Horses draw elegant carriages carrying members of the Queen's escort, while soldiers stand guard with pikes at their sides. The architecture of buildings along Cheapside provides an impressive backdrop for this royal spectacle. This photograph transports us back to a bygone era when England and France were intertwined through political alliances and marriages between monarchs. It offers us a glimpse into seventeenth-century life, where war-torn Europe sought moments of respite through extravagant displays such as these processions. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at how history comes alive before our eyes. The combination of nineteenth-century engraving techniques capturing scenes from two centuries prior adds another layer of intrigue to this remarkable piece. Whether you are an enthusiast for British history or simply appreciate stunning visual storytelling, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back in time to witness one of London's most memorable events.
