EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning double page engraving, dated 1855, offers a glimpse into a historic moment at the Horse Guards Parade Ground in London. The image captures the grandeur and solemnity of the occasion as soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, wait in ranks for Queen Victoria to bestow upon them their Crimea Medals. The Horse Guards Parade Ground, located in Whitehall, has been the site of numerous military parades and ceremonies since the 17th century. In 1855, the parade ground played host to this significant event, marking the end of the Crimean War. The war, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, saw the British and French forces defeat the Russian army, securing the Black Sea and protecting the Ottoman Empire. The engraving reveals the grand building of the Horse Guards, which served as the headquarters for the British Army's Household Cavalry. The architecture of the building, with its intricate details and columns, adds to the sense of importance and tradition. The masses of soldiers, standing in disciplined ranks, create a striking visual contrast against the open parade ground. Their expressions convey a mix of anticipation and respect as they wait for the arrival of Queen Victoria. The monarch, who is not visible in the image, would have ridden out to the parade ground on horseback to present the medals to her brave soldiers. This engraving is an essential piece of historical documentation, providing a window into the past and offering insight into the military traditions and ceremonies of the British Empire during the 19th century.
