EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a momentous event in history - the investiture of Victor Emmanuel II, King of Sardinia and later of Italy, with the prestigious Order of the Garter at Windsor Castle on 1 December 1855. The image showcases a rare glimpse into royal tradition and heraldry, as King Victor Emmanuel II is bestowed with this esteemed honor by none other than Queen Victoria herself.
The scene is filled with historical significance as Prince Albert stands by his wife's side, witnessing this grand ceremony unfold. The regal atmosphere of Windsor Castle adds to the gravity of the occasion, highlighting the importance of this event in both Italian and British history.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when such investitures were not just formalities but symbols of power, prestige, and diplomacy. It serves as a reminder of the close ties between nations and monarchies during that era.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this moment for us to admire and reflect upon. It is truly a piece that encapsulates an important chapter in European history - one that continues to fascinate us to this day.
