EDITORS COMMENTS
The Queen at Derby: A Majestic Moment in History". This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the esteemed presence of Queen Victoria herself at the Derby. The engraving, created by Melton Prior and published in The Illustrated London News on May 30th, 1891, immortalizes this grand occasion. In the image, we witness Her Royal Highness presenting the foundation stone to the Mayor of Derby during a ceremonial event. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of majestic architecture and beautifully drawn corner lamps that illuminate the regal atmosphere. Architects and construction workers stand proudly alongside royalty as they lay the cornerstone for what will become an iconic landmark - Osmaston Road. The Queen's visit to Derby was not only marked by this symbolic act but also included her knighting Lord Lathom and Mr. A Seale Haslam for their contributions to society. As part of her entourage, several animals can be seen, including racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and other farm animals that add life to this historical tableau. This rare glimpse into royal visits showcases both the importance placed on infrastructure development as well as celebrating achievements within society. It serves as a testament to Queen Victoria's reign and her dedication to progress while highlighting her connection with her subjects. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are able to appreciate this remarkable piece of history captured through Prior's skilled engraving technique.
