Step back in time to the grand opening of the National Portrait Gallery on Saturday 4 April 1896 with this charming cartoon print. The image depicts Britannia herself welcoming guests with open arms, exclaiming "Come in, ladies and gentlemen! Glad to give you a decent roof over your heads at last!" This whimsical portrayal captures the excitement and anticipation surrounding the unveiling of this prestigious art institution.
In the late Victorian era, art galleries were not just places to admire beautiful works of art, but also social hubs where people could gather and appreciate culture together. The National Portrait Gallery was no exception, drawing crowds eager to explore its collection of historical portraits and visual arts.
