EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1863 in Strand, London. The image captures a momentous occasion - the City's grand welcome to Princess Alexandra, who would later become the beloved bride of Prince Edward VII. The scene unfolds with a majestic procession leading from Temple Bar, as crowds eagerly gather along the streets to catch a glimpse of their future queen. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation as onlookers wave flags and cheer in celebration of this historic event. This engraving from the Mayson Beeton Collection beautifully encapsulates Victorian-era opulence and regality. It serves as a testament to both the power of monarchy and the cultural significance it held during that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved by Historic England Photo Library, we cannot help but be reminded of how far society has come since then. Yet, there is an undeniable charm in witnessing such elaborate displays of honor and respect for royalty. Through this photograph, we are granted a window into an era long gone but forever etched in our collective memory. It stands as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also of the enduring fascination humanity holds for moments that unite us all - regardless of time or place.
