EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Marriage of Queen Victoria on February 10,1840. Created by Charles Eden Wagstaff in 1844, this engraving beautifully depicts the union between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In this image, we see the bride and groom standing side by side at the Chapel Royal. The couple is dressed elegantly; Queen Victoria wears a stunning white dress while Prince Albert dons his military uniform. They hold hands tightly, symbolizing their commitment to each other as they embark on their journey together. Surrounded by members of the clergy, including bishops and archbishops, this royal wedding was not only a personal celebration but also an important event for the entire country. As monarchs of Great Britain and Ireland, their marriage represented unity and stability for the nation. The location itself holds historical significance - it took place at St James's Palace in London. This grand building serves as a reminder of Britain's rich heritage and its deep-rooted connection to Christianity. Charles Eden Wagstaff skillfully captured this pivotal moment in British history through his etching technique. Now preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print allows us to glimpse into the past and witness one of Queen Victoria's most memorable moments as she became Empress of India alongside her beloved Prince Consort.
