EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The Queen laying the Foundation Stone of the New Medical Examination Hall on the Victoria Embankment' by Durand, captures a significant moment in the history of medical education in England. The image, published in The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper in 1886, depicts Queen Victoria, the monarch of Great Britain and Ireland, and Empress of India, laying the foundation stone of the new Medical Examination Hall on the Victoria Embankment in London. The event took place in front of a large crowd of people, including Sir William Jenner, President of the Royal College of Physicians, and Sir William Savory, President of the Royal College of Surgeons. The new Medical Examination Hall was an essential addition to the College of Physicians and the College of Surgeons, institutions that played a crucial role in the education and training of medical professionals in the country. The foundation stone-laying ceremony marked the beginning of the construction process, which would eventually lead to the completion of the new hall. The Victoria Embankment, a grand street along the south bank of the River Thames, provided a fitting location for the ceremony, with its impressive architecture and scenic views of the city. The Queen, dressed in her regal attire, watches over the proceedings with a sense of pride and dignity, surrounded by the crowd of onlookers. The photograph print offers a glimpse into the ceremonial and educational significance of the event, capturing the essence of Victorian Britain's commitment to science, medicine, and the advancement of knowledge. The image is a testament to the importance of the monarchy in the country's history and the role it played in shaping the future of medical education in England.
