EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Queen's Visit to Jersey, Moonlight View of Mont Orgeuil Castle with the Royal Squadron lying at Anchor" takes us back to a momentous occasion in history. The image showcases the grandeur and beauty of Mont Orgeuil Castle, set against the backdrop of a serene moonlit night. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn to the majestic fortress that stands proudly on its rocky perch. Its fortified ramparts and imposing structure speak volumes about its historical significance as a stronghold in the Channel Islands. In this enchanting scene, we witness an extraordinary sight—the Royal Squadron peacefully anchored nearby. The presence of these magnificent ships adds an air of regality and importance to the composition. They serve as a reminder of Queen Victoria's visit to Jersey during her reign in 1859—an event that left an indelible mark on both locals and visitors alike. The moonlight casts a soft glow over Mont Orgeuil Castle and illuminates every intricate detail—every stone carefully placed by skilled hands centuries ago. It is as if time has stood still for just a moment, allowing us to appreciate the architectural marvel before us.
