EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Presentation of Addresses to Her Majesty, at Windsor Castle - the Ante-Room to St. George's-Hall, 1850," is an intriguing snapshot of a significant historical moment. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was published in the Illustrated London News in 1850. The scene unfolds in the Ante-Room to St. George's-Hall at Windsor Castle, where the City of London, the University of Oxford, and the University of Cambridge gathered to present their grievances to Queen Victoria. The occasion was sparked by the Bishop of Rome's attempt to assert power in the realm of England, a matter that the three entities found deeply concerning. The Corporation, comprised of dignitaries and prominent figures, had gathered in one of the large reception rooms to the right of the staircase, awaiting their turn to be introduced to the Queen. In the photograph, we see a group of men, dressed in academic apparel and formal attire, standing respectfully before Her Majesty. The Lord Mayor of London, wearing his ceremonial robes and hat, leads the delegation. Other notable figures, including Aldermen and academics, are also present. The men wear a range of hats, including mortarboards and top hats, reflecting the diverse fashion trends of the time. The Queen, seated at the end of St. George's-Hall, is dressed in elegant Victorian clothing, her expression serious and attentive as she listens to the delegation. The photograph is a testament to the old boys network and the power of the press in shaping public opinion during the 19th century. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a meticulously detailed record of a pivotal moment in British history. The photograph, from the collection of The Print Collector, remains an invaluable resource for historians, fashion enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the social and political landscape of the Victorian era.
