The Visit of the Queen to Liverpool: A Historic Moment in Time - The Recorder Reading the Corporation Address outside St George's Hall, 1886 This striking photograph captures a significant moment in Liverpool's history, as Her Majesty Queen Victoria, the Empress of India, pays a royal visit to the city in 1886. The image, taken from 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper', shows the monarch being warmly welcomed by the city's dignitaries, including the Recorder, who is seen intently reading the Corporation Address to the assembled crowd outside St George's Hall. The Victorian era was a time of great change and progress in Britain, and Liverpool, as a major port city, played a crucial role in the country's industrial and commercial growth. Queen Victoria's visit was an opportunity for the city to showcase its achievements and its status as a thriving metropolis. The image of the Queen, resplendent in her regal attire, surrounded by the people of Liverpool, is a testament to the strong bond between the monarchy and the people of the city. The Corporation Address, an annual speech delivered to the monarch by the city's civic leaders, was an important tradition that highlighted the city's civic pride and its commitment to the welfare of its citizens. The Recorder, a senior legal officer, was responsible for reading the address to the Queen, making this a moment of great significance for both the city and the monarch. This photograph, taken from 'The Graphic', provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the relationship between the monarchy and the people of Liverpool during the Victorian era. The image is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the city today.
