EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured aquatint engraving captures the grandeur and pomp of Queen Victoria's Coronation Parade in 1838, as depicted in Fores' "Correct Representation of the State Procession." At the center of the image, the Queens Equerry and Mounted Band of the Household take pride of place, their bay horses adorned in pristine livery and their musicians poised to play. The Equerry, dressed in full regalia, leads the way, while the Duke of Sussex, Prince Augustus Frederick, rides alongside him, both men representing the aristocracy and the Household Brigade. The Queen herself is not visible in this panoramic view, but her presence is felt in the grandeur of the occasion. The procession moves through the streets of London, with coaches and carriages following closely behind. The Equerry and Mounted Band provide an escort for the monarch, their role essential in the ceremonial proceedings. The engraving, published by Fores in Piccadilly, London, offers a detailed and accurate representation of the event, with each figure and detail meticulously hand-coloured to bring the scene to life. The panoply of colours and textures, from the rich reds and golds of the uniforms to the intricate patterns of the carriages, add to the sense of grandeur and occasion. The Coronation of Queen Victoria was a significant moment in British history, and this image offers a glimpse into the pomp and ceremony that surrounded the event. The Equerry and Mounted Band of the Household played a crucial role in the proceedings, and their presence here serves as a reminder of the importance of tradition and ceremony in the monarchy.
