EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the grandeur and elegance of a Collar Day event held in the Throne Room of St James Palace, London, in 1847. Queen Victoria, the monarch of the British Empire at the time, presides over the scene, dressed in her regal attire, surrounded by an assembly of nobility and high-ranking military officers. The room is adorned with ornate gold and red decorations, creating a breathtaking backdrop for the formal occasion. Collar Days were special events where those attending a formal function were required to wear a collar over their military uniform or morning dress. The collars, often made of velvet or silk, symbolized the recipient's rank and position within the hierarchy of the British monarchy and military. In this photograph, we see a mix of people, some standing respectfully before the Queen, while others kneel in submission. The atmosphere is one of reverence and awe, as the attendees pay their respects to their monarch. The intricate details of the room's decorations, the polished uniforms, and the solemn expressions on the faces of the attendees all contribute to the sense of history and tradition that permeates this scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the opulence and formality of the British monarchy during the 1840s, providing a fascinating window into the past. The Throne Room of St James Palace, with its grandeur and elegance, stands as a testament to the power and prestige of the British monarchy during this period.
