EDITORS COMMENTS
The Procession crossing the Merchants Area, 1844: A Glimpse into Royal Splendor". This print captures a momentous event in British history - the opening of the new Royal Exchange building in the City of London. The year is 1844, and Queen Victoria, accompanied by her beloved Prince Albert, leads a grand procession through the arches of this magnificent architectural masterpiece. As Her Majesty gracefully leans on Prince Albert's arm, they ascend the steps of the portico towards the entrance of what is commonly known as the Merchants Quadrangle. Preceding them is none other than Lord Mayor William Magnay, proudly carrying the City sword of state. The scene exudes an air of regality and importance. The neoclassical design elements add to its grandeur, with archways framing this historical moment for eternity. This engraving from "Illustrated London News" transports us back to a time when ceremony and tradition held great significance. Intriguingly captured indoors, amidst bustling officials and press members recording every detail for posterity's sake; it showcases not only royalty but also highlights various professions that played vital roles during such events. This remarkable image invites us to imagine ourselves present at this memorable occasion - witnessing Queen Victoria's reign as Empress of India unfold before our eyes. It serves as a testament to Britain's rich heritage while reminding us that even centuries later, we can still marvel at these glimpses into royal splendor.
