The Naval Review: the Queen's Yacht leaving Portsmouth Harbour, 1856. Creator: Ebenezer Landells
The Naval Review: the Queen's Yacht leaving Portsmouth Harbour, 1856. Queen Victoria attends a display by the Royal Navy off the Hampshire coast. Her Majesty was accompanied on board by the Lords of the Admiralty, Sir Edmund Lyons, Admiral De la Graviere, and Mr. Osborne, Secretary to the Admiralty. After a short interval the yacht rapidly steamed out of the harbour, when the forts immediately saluted. The Queen was most enthusiastically cheered by the assembled thousands on the shore as the yacht pursued her course towards the Spit Buoy, on rounding which the whole of the fleet manned their yards and commenced a Royal salute. The scene was most imposing at this period'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Naval Review: the Queen's Yacht leaving Portsmouth Harbour, 1856," is an engraving by Ebenezer Landells, published in the Illustrated London News. It depicts Queen Victoria attending a grand Naval Review off the coast of Hampshire, England. Accompanied by prominent naval figures such as Lords of the Admiralty, Sir Edmund Lyons, Admiral De la Graviere, and Mr. Osborne, the Queen boards her yacht, the Empress of India, for the impressive display by the Royal Navy. The black and white image captures the excitement and patriotic fervor of the event, with thousands of people gathered on the shore to witness the spectacle. The Queen, gesturing gracefully from the deck of her yacht, is warmly greeted by the assembled crowd as the vessel sails out of Portsmouth Harbour. The forts along the coast immediately salute the monarch, adding to the grandeur of the moment. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of various boats and paddle steamers in the harbor, as well as the impressive fortifications and breakwater that line the coast. The naval fleet, manning their yards and preparing for the Royal Salute, adds to the imposing and majestic atmosphere. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the patriotic spirit and grandeur of a bygone era. The Naval Review of 1856 was a significant event in British history, and this image by Ebenezer Landells serves as an enduring testament to the power and might of the Royal Navy during the Victorian era.
