EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, created by C.R for the Illustrated London News in 1876, depicts a reception at the Royal Italian Opera where the future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra gracefully make an appearance just two hours after their return from home. The public's anticipation to catch a glimpse of their royal highnesses was met with delight as they took their seats amongst the applauding audience. The Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VII, is seen wearing a formal attire, while Queen Alexandra, née Princess Alexandra of Denmark, elegantly complements him in her regal gown. The orchestra plays on, the stage bathed in the soft glow of the theatre lights, as the audience erupts in cheers and clapping, a metaphor for the patriotic fervor and monarchist sentiments of the era. The engraving captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of a royal reception at the opera house.
