The King and Queen of Portugal going on board the Serapis in their State Barge...1876. Creator: L.B
The King and Queen of Portugal going on board the Serapis in their State Barge, from a sketch by our special artist, 1876. The future King Edward VII entertains King Luis I and Queen Maria on board the Royal Navy warship HMS Serapis'. View of...the Prince meeting their Majesties on the ladder. This barge was built so long ago as 1684. On the bow and stern and the deckhouse there are rich carvings, gilt, on a blue ground. She is 110 ft. long, and pulls forty oars, twenty on each side. There are two men to each oar, making a crew of eighty. They are dressed in red jackets over a sailor's shirt, with an odd-shaped red velvet cap, having a large silver plate on the high front. The standard is held up by an officer just in front of the deckhouse'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative engraving from the Illustrated London News in 1876, we witness a historic moment as the future King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland extends a warm welcome to King Luis I and Queen Maria Pia of Portugal aboard the Royal Navy warship HMS Serapis. The serene waters of an unidentified location serve as the backdrop to this diplomatic encounter. The Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, is depicted meeting the Portuguese monarchs as they gracefully ascend the ladder onto the deck of the Serapis. The state barge, which carried the Portuguese royals, is a stunning sight to behold. Dated back to 1684, this magnificent vessel measures 110 ft. long and is manned by a crew of eighty oarsmen, dressed in red jackets and odd-shaped red velvet caps adorned with large silver plates. The bow and stern, as well as the deckhouse, are embellished with intricate carvings and gilt on a blue ground. The HMS Serapis, a formidable naval warship, stands proudly in the background with its distinctive funnel. The Portuguese royal standard is held aloft by an officer, signifying their regal presence. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of international relations, politics, and naval warfare during the 19th century. The skillful engraving by L.B. for the Illustrated London News provides a lasting testament to this significant moment in history.
