The print captures the historic moment of Queen Victoria's arrival at Westminster Abbey in London on 21 June 1887, during her Golden Jubilee celebrations. The image showcases the grandeur and significance of this royal event, as thousands gathered to witness the monarch's procession. In this engraving from James Taylor's "The Victorian Empire" we see a scene filled with symbolism and reverence.

The imposing architecture of Westminster Abbey stands tall in the background, emphasizing its role as a place of worship for centuries. This photograph encapsulates not only a celebration but also a momentous occasion for both Britain and its empire. Queen Victoria reigned over Great Britain and Ireland for fifty years, marking an era of progress and prosperity under her rule.
