EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving, we are transported back to a momentous occasion in history - The Queen's visit to Glasgow. The image captures the grandeur and excitement that filled the air as Queen Victoria made her way through the bustling streets of this vibrant Scottish city. As we gaze upon the print, our eyes are drawn to Buchanan Street, adorned with flags and bunting, eagerly awaiting Her Majesty's arrival. Crowds gather along the route, their faces filled with anticipation and admiration for their beloved monarch. The scene unfolds before us with meticulous detail; every building and street corner meticulously etched by Frank Watkins' skilled hand. St. Enoch Square stands proud as a backdrop for this momentous event, its architecture serving as a testament to Glasgow's rich heritage.

This symbolic gesture showcases not only Glasgow's hospitality but also its deep respect for royalty. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of an era when royal visits were celebrated with great fervor across Britain. It encapsulates both the pride felt by Glaswegians at being chosen as hosts and their eagerness to showcase their city on such an auspicious occasion. As we admire this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it transports us back in
