The Queen's Farewell - A Historic Royal Visit to Ireland
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a significant moment in history - the departure of Queen Victoria from Kingstown (now Dun Laoghaire) during her royal visit to Ireland in 1849. The image, created by William Heysham Overend and featured in Robert Wilson's book "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" transports us back to a time when colonialism was at its peak. Amidst a crowd of cheering onlookers, both young and old, Queen Victoria stands tall with her family by her side. Dressed elegantly in their finest attire, they wave goodbye to the Irish people who have gathered to bid them farewell. The queen's regal presence is accentuated by her majestic bonnet, while Prince Albert dons a distinguished top hat. This scene captures not only the excitement surrounding the royal visit but also reflects the complex relationship between Britain and Ireland during that era. As paddle steamers wait patiently in the background, ready to transport Her Majesty across the water, it symbolizes both progress and power. William Heysham Overend skillfully brings this historical event to life through his detailed engraving technique. Through his artistry, he immortalizes this momentous occasion for future generations to admire. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of an era long gone but never forgotten - an era where royalty reigned supreme and nations were forever shaped by their visits.
