The Royal Procession to Holyrood, 1850. Creator: Ebenezer Landells
The Royal Procession to Holyrood, 1850. Crowds turn out to watch Queen Victoria and her entourage travelling to the Palace of Holyrood in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Royal party were immediately conveyed to their carriages, and in them, at a slow rate, proceeded to Holyrood. All description of the welcome which they received there from the countless thousands who crowded the base of Arthur's Seat, and swarmed on every hillock and projecting point with which its picturesque sides abound, would convey a most imperfect idea of the actual reality. It was a rare scene of high enthusiasm, but its impression upon the mind of those who witnessed it cannot thoroughly be reproduced in language.
The line of the procession was kept by the 93d Regiment; the utmost order and regularity prevailed; and her Majesty and the Prince both looked immensely gratified'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'The Royal Procession to Holyrood, 1850' by Ebenezer Landells, captures a historic moment in Scottish history. Queen Victoria and her entourage, including Prince Albert, are depicted travelling to the Palace of Holyrood in Edinburgh, Scotland, surrounded by a sea of people. The line of the procession is kept in order by the 93rd Regiment, as the crowd turns out in high enthusiasm to welcome the monarch. The scene is set against the backdrop of Arthur's Seat, a picturesque geographical feature in Edinburgh, with hills and projecting points swarming with spectators. The impression of the welcome cannot be fully captured in language, but the print provides a rare glimpse into the patriotic fervor of the time. The royal party are conveyed in horse-drawn carriages, with horses and riders leading the way. The print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and order of a royal visit in the 19th century. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of Scottish history and the tourist attraction it continues to hold.
