EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in British history - the Proclamation of Queen Victoria at St. James's Palace on June 31,1837. The image showcases heralds announcing Victoria's succession to the throne, marking her reign as Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. At just 18 years old, Victoria inherited the throne after the passing of her uncle, King William IV. This proclamation marked the beginning of a glorious reign that would last until her death in 1901. The photograph is sourced from "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901: The Life and Accession of King Edward VII. and the Life of Queen Alexandra", published in London in 1901. In this historic scene, men on horseback ride through St. James's Palace while trumpeters announce Victoria's ascension with their resounding music. The grandeur and significance are palpable as people gather around to witness this momentous occasion. The unknown creator skillfully captures not only the physicality but also conveys a sense of pride and reverence surrounding this event. It serves as a reminder not only of Victoria's remarkable journey but also highlights an important era in British history when she ruled over one-fifth of humanity as Empress of India. This print is a testament to both artistic excellence and historical importance, making it an invaluable addition to any collection or display honoring Queen Victoria's legacy.
