The Cherbourg Fetes - Arrival of Her Majesty at Cherbourg, 1858. Creator: Unknown
The Cherbourg Fetes - Arrival of Her Majesty at Cherbourg, 1858. When the Queen [Victoria] and her suite arrived at Cherbourg there were great demonstrations on shore. The waters that wash the harbour had a gay appearance at the time, being covered with crafts of all description, with colours and flags flying. As soon as the Emperor received the intelligence that her Majesty had entered the harbour he proceeded at once to pay his personal respects, and was duly received on board the Royal yacht'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a historic moment in the annals of European history: the arrival of Queen Victoria of England at Cherbourg, France, in 1858. The image, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News, captures the excitement and grandeur of the occasion as the waters of the English Channel are filled with a flotilla of boats, adorned with colors and flags, signaling the arrival of the monarch. In the foreground, Emperor Napoleon III of France, dressed in military attire, awaits the arrival of Queen Victoria on board his royal yacht. The print also showcases the impressive armaments of the naval fleet, with cannons at the ready, as international code of signals are hoisted high on the masts. The event marked a significant moment in Anglo-French relations, with Queen Victoria's visit to Cherbourg symbolizing the peaceful coexistence between the two European powers. This engraving is a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during the 19th century, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical art or European studies.
