EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Historic England takes us back to a significant moment in history - the City's grand welcome to Princess Alexandra in 1863. The image showcases a procession leading from Temple Bar, capturing the essence of Victorian London and its deep-rooted traditions. Princess Alexandra, who would later become Queen consort to King Edward VII, is at the center of attention as she arrives in style amidst great fanfare. The vibrant colors of this beautifully engraved scene bring life to an era long gone by, allowing us a glimpse into the pomp and pageantry that surrounded royal events during this time. The photograph is part of the Mayson Beeton Collection and serves as a testament to both British monarchy and Victorian society. It symbolizes not only the union between Princess Alexandra and Prince Albert Edward (later known as King Edward VII), but also represents an important milestone for London itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are transported back to a time when royalty held immense power and influence over society. It reminds us of how historical moments like these shape our understanding of culture, tradition, and even architecture within our cities. Historic England Photo Library has preserved this precious snapshot for future generations to appreciate. Through their dedication, we can continue marveling at such extraordinary glimpses into our past while celebrating the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
