EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Her Majesty leaving Cherbourg" beautifully captures a significant moment in history. Created by the talented artist Edwin Weedon in 1858, this print showcases Queen Victoria's departure from Cherbourg, France. The image was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on August 28th of that year. In this scene, we witness the grandeur and elegance associated with royal visits. Her Majesty stands tall on the deck of her ship, surrounded by a regal entourage bidding farewell to the French shores. The composition exudes a sense of power and authority while also highlighting the maritime theme prevalent throughout. Cherbourg's picturesque harbor serves as a stunning backdrop to this historic event. As one gazes upon this engraving, it is impossible not to be transported back in time and imagine oneself amidst the bustling atmosphere of that day. This artwork not only celebrates Queen Victoria but also symbolizes cultural exchanges between nations during that era. It reminds us of France's rich heritage and its influence on European culture at large. Preserved within private collections until now, this remarkable piece has been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. Its presence offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in history when monarchs traversed oceans to strengthen diplomatic ties and foster international relations.
