EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in British history as it depicts Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's Royal Procession passing the Mansion House in London on November 7, 1844. The couple is seen in their carriage, making their way to the official opening of the newly rebuilt Royal Exchange. The Mansion House, an iconic Georgian building and the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London, stands proudly in the background, adorned with banners and flags in celebration of the royal visit. The image, created in 1844 by an unknown engraver, is a testament to the grandeur and splendor of the Royal Family during the Victorian era. Queen Victoria, dressed in her regal attire, sits elegantly in the carriage, while Prince Albert, her devoted husband and consort, looks on from beside her. The procession is accompanied by an entourage of horse-drawn carriages and footmen, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The official opening of the Royal Exchange, which had been destroyed by fire in 1834, was a significant event in the financial and commercial history of London. The exchange, which had been a hub of commerce since the 16th century, was rebuilt in a magnificent neoclassical style, reflecting the city's prosperity and resilience. This historical engraving, which is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the grandeur and pageantry of the Victorian era and the importance of the Royal Family in British society.
