EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of West London, during the late 19th century, the Great American Exhibition brought the wild, untamed spirit of the American West to the shores of England. The excitement was palpable as Queen Victoria and her court prepared to visit the Wild West Show, an integral part of the Exhibition. In this photograph, Queen Victoria is seen viewing an equine spectacle in the arena, mesmerized by the raw power and grace of the horses and riders. The Queen's attention is drawn to Miss Lilian Smith, an accomplished sharpshooter, who proudly displays her rifle. Miss Smith, born in 1871, had made a name for herself as a skilled marksman and was a popular attraction at the Wild West Show. The photograph continues to reveal a moment of cultural exchange as a Sioux Chief named Red Shirt is presented to the Queen. Red Shirt, dressed in traditional regalia, stands tall and proud, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of the American Indian people. The Queen's curiosity is piqued as she engages with the Indian squaws, who showcase their intricate beadwork and traditional attire. This photograph captures the essence of a historic moment in time, where the old world meets the new, and the fascination with the American West reaches the shores of England. The Great American Exhibition and the Wild West Show provided a window into a world that was both wild and wondrous, leaving a lasting impact on the British public and the royal family alike.
