1837 Audience Chamber Proclaimed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the historic moment when Queen Victoria was proclaimed to the people of London from the window of the Audience Chamber at St James Palace on June 22, 1837. The young monarch, dressed in a simple white gown and wearing the diamond diadem, appeared before her subjects for the first time following the death of her uncle, King William IV. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement as the crowd below eagerly awaits the announcement of their new queen. The Audience Chamber, located in the Palace of St James, has been the site of many significant royal events throughout history. It was here that Queen Elizabeth I received her first parliament in 1559, and it was also the room where Queen Anne gave birth to the future King George I in 1660. However, it was Victoria's proclamation from this very window that marked the beginning of her 63-year reign, which would become the longest in British history. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and tradition. The intricate details of Victoria's gown, the ornate decor of the chamber, and the expressions of awe and wonder on the faces of the onlookers all serve to bring this historical moment to life. This print is not only a testament to the rich history of the British monarchy but also a reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit and the importance of tradition and continuity in times of change.
