EDITORS COMMENTS
Carriage of Count Carl August von Alten: A Regal Testament to Diplomacy and Aristocratic Grandeur in Queen Victoria's Coronation Parade This hand-coloured aquatint engraving, published by Fores in 1838, captures the grandeur and pomp of the Coronation Parade for Queen Victoria, held on June 28th, 1838. Among the many magnificent carriages that graced the procession, the carriage of Count Carl August von Alten, Ambassador Extraordinary from the King of Hanover, stands out as a testament to diplomacy and aristocratic splendour. Count Carl August von Alten, a Marquis in the service of the King of Sardinia, was a prominent figure in European diplomacy during the 19th century. In this enchanting image, his carriage is adorned with intricate designs, gold accents, and the royal crest of Hanover. The Count himself is depicted in full regalia, seated proudly within, a symbol of his noble status and the diplomatic ties between Hanover and the British monarchy. The panoramic view of the Coronation Parade offers a glimpse into the grand ceremony, with its myriad of colours, textures, and opulence. The panoply of carriages, each bearing the emblems of their respective monarchs and ambassadors, adds to the grandeur of the occasion. This engraving serves as a fascinating reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounded the coronation of Queen Victoria, a monarch whose reign would span over six decades and shape the course of British history. The meticulous hand-colouring and intricate detail of this aquatint engraving bring the Coronation Parade to life, transporting us back to an era of grandeur, diplomacy, and regal splendour.
