EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The Royal Visit to the City: Salute of the Honourable Artillery Company, 1876,' is an enchanting glimpse into the past, showcasing a significant historical moment in Britain's rich heritage. The image, created by an unknown artist, was originally published in the prestigious 'Illustrated London News' in 1876. The scene portrays the Honourable Artillery Company, a renowned military regiment, paying their respects to the Prince and Princess of Wales, who would later become King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, during their visit to the City of London. The men, dressed in their finest uniforms, stand to attention, saluting the royal couple as they pass by in a magnificent state coach. Horses, adorned with regal standards and banners, pull the carriage, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The photograph, which is both evocative and meticulously detailed, is a testament to the artistry and skill of the engraver. The image, with its striking contrasts, transports us back to a time when horses and horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation. The men, with their determined expressions and smartly pressed uniforms, embody the spirit of duty and loyalty to the crown. This photograph print is not only a valuable addition to any collection of historical or military memorabilia but also a poignant reminder of the enduring tradition and significance of the monarchy in British history. The Honourable Artillery Company, with its long and storied history, continues to be an integral part of the British military, making this print a fascinating piece of art and history.
