EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Presentation of the Address in the Reception Room, 1844. The photograph showcases the grand opening of the new Royal Exchange building in the City of London, designed by Sir William Tite and officially opened by Queen Victoria herself. In this image, Her Majesty is seen seated on an elevated dais, accompanied by Prince Albert standing proudly beside her. On her left are the Duchess of Kent and Duke of Cambridge while Sir Robert Peel stands below Prince Albert. Close to him is Sir James Graham, ready to receive any commands from Queen Victoria in his official capacity. The Lord Mayor of London, William Magnay, adds a touch of ceremonial splendor as he carries the City sword of state. This engraving was originally published in "Illustrated London News" back in 1844 when it first captured public attention. The print not only offers a glimpse into this historic event but also provides insight into nineteenth-century British society and its intricate hierarchy. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and modernization, tradition and ceremony still hold great importance for royalty and officials alike. This remarkable piece from Heritage Images allows us to step back in time and witness a momentous occasion that shaped both British history and architectural legacy.
