A Hero's Welcome - Garibaldi Arrives in London
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph from "Illustrated London News" (1864), Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi makes a triumphant arrival at Charing Cross, marking the beginning of his historic visit to England. As he steps out of a four-horse carriage belonging to the Duke of Sutherland, crowds surge forward to greet him. Supporters have climbed the statue of King Charles I in celebration, waving flags and banners as they cheer on their beloved hero.
Garibaldi's sons, Menotti and Ricciotti, along with his Italian secretary and Sir Robert Nicholson (a former captain in Garibaldi's army), follow closely behind. The atmosphere is electric with excitement and patriotism as the general takes his seat amidst a sea of enthusiastic well-wishers. This momentous occasion captures the fervor of British admiration for this international hero, who had gained fame for his bravery and leadership during Italy's struggle for independence.
The photograph offers a glimpse into London's vibrant cultural landscape in 1864, where politics, artistry, and celebrity converged to create an unforgettable spectacle. As Garibaldi begins his journey from Charing Cross to Stafford House (the residence of the Duke of Sutherland), this image serves as a testament to the enduring power of heroism and international diplomacy during times of great change and upheaval.
