EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, during Queen Victoria's visit to the newly-opened town hall in 1858. The monarch, dressed in her regal attire, is shown seated on a throne, surrounded by an audience of distinguished gentlemen in formal wear and ladies in elegant gowns. At the foot of the throne, the Town Clerk, dressed in ermine robe and hat, reads the Address to Her Majesty. The Queen, with a look of attentiveness, listens intently to the Town Clerk's words. The scene is reminiscent of the political and social events of the 19th century, where the press, represented by the Illustrated London News, documented the occasion for the public. The photograph, engraved from the original newspaper illustration, offers a glimpse into the fashion, politics, and royalty of the time. The Town Clerk's job was to present the address on behalf of the townspeople, expressing their loyalty and gratitude to the Queen and Prince Albert, who was also present during the visit. The image is a testament to the importance of such events in the lives of the people and the role of the press in recording history.
