EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph from 1850, taken from Illustrated London News, we witness a significant moment in the relationship between the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church in England. The Corporation of London, represented by its members, presents an address to Queen Victoria in St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle, expressing their indignation towards the Bishop of Rome's attempt to assert power over English soil. The scene is filled with an air of importance and grandeur. Queen Victoria, seated on her throne at the end of the hall, is surrounded by her court, including Lord John Russell, Sir G. Grey, the Marquis of Westminster, and the Marquis of Anglesey. Ladies in Waiting and two pages of honor stand to the left of the throne, while Prince Albert receives the addresses and presents them to the Queen. The atmosphere is formal and political, with the Corporation of London's representatives dressed in their finest attire. The room is adorned with intricate fortifications and decorative cushions, adding to the sense of importance and tradition. The event was a significant one, marking a clear statement of the Church of England's stance on the role of the Roman Catholic Church in England. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the political climate of the time and the role of the monarchy in shaping religious and political discourse. The image is also a reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds the British monarchy and the role of the Corporation of London in shaping the nation's history.
