EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the momentous occasion of Queen Victoria's opening of the Parliament in the House of Lords on February 14, 1854. The image, taken during the Victorian era in London's Westminster Palace, showcases the monarch's regal presence as she delivers her speech to the assembled politicians. With a serious expression and adorned in her royal robes, Queen Victoria sits confidently on the throne, her golden crown glinting in the light. Her consort, Prince Albert, stands attentively behind her, his arm resting on the back of her chair, offering his support and guidance. The House of Lords, filled with distinguished politicians and noblemen, is shown in the background, their expressions ranging from solemn to curious as they listen intently to the Queen's words. The atmosphere is formal and serious, yet there is a sense of order and tradition that pervades the scene. This photograph, a testament to the power and majesty of the British monarchy, is a fascinating glimpse into the political chronicles of the 1850s. The photograph, taken by renowned British photographer TERRY PARKER, offers a true representation of the era, capturing the essence of England's Merry Monarch in her element. The image, published in various magazines, served as a reminder of the enduring influence and importance of the British monarchy in the political landscape of the time.
