The Queens visit to Ireland, 1900
The Queens visit to Ireland: Presentation of the Address and Casket to Her Majesty by the members of the Dublin Corporation on her entry to the City on Wednesday, April 4th, 1900. By April 1900, the Boer War was so unpopular in mainland Europe that Queen Victorias trip to France seemed inadvisable. Instead, the Queen went to Ireland for the first time since 1861, in part to acknowledge the contribution of Irish regiments to the South African war. From Black & White Budget, Vol. III. [The Black and White Publishing Company, J P. Monckton, Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, 1900]

The Queen's Historic Visit to Ireland - A Symbolic Gesture of Gratitude and Unity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print, we witness a momentous occasion as Queen Victoria makes her long-awaited return to Ireland in 1900. The photograph captures the grandeur of the event, showcasing the presentation of an address and casket by members of the Dublin Corporation upon Her Majesty's entry into the city. At a time when Europe was embroiled in controversy over the Boer War, Queen Victoria chose to divert her attention towards acknowledging Irish regiments' contributions to this conflict. This visit marked not only a gesture of appreciation but also served as a unifying symbol for both nations. The image transports us back in time, revealing an elevated view of Dublin's bustling streets adorned with cheering crowds. Majestic horses draw a royal carriage carrying our beloved monarch through this historic cityscape. Men dressed in formal attire line up alongside animals that seem equally captivated by the spectacle unfolding before them. This photograph encapsulates more than just transportation or military affairs; it speaks volumes about artistry, literature, administration, and royalty coming together harmoniously. It is a testament to Ireland's rich heritage and its enduring connection with England under Queen Victoria's reign. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, let us remember how history can be shaped by gestures like these – acts that bridge divides and foster unity among people from different backgrounds.
