EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of Queen Victoria's arrival in Cherbourg for her annual stay in Nice. The Queen, born Victoria de Wettin of Hanover, was a prominent figure in 19th-century European politics and international relations. As she disembarks from her regal vessel, French officials eagerly await to welcome her with open arms. The image showcases the strong diplomatic ties between England and France during this time period. It highlights the courtesy and respect shown by both nations towards one another. The presence of British press photographers further emphasizes the significance of this event on an international scale. Queen Victoria's visit not only symbolizes the close relationship between England and France but also represents a broader sense of unity within Europe as a whole. Her German heritage is acknowledged through references to Hanover, North Germany, and German culture. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured photograph offers us a glimpse into history - a snapshot frozen in time that encapsulates the grandeur and elegance associated with royalty during the late 19th century. This print serves as a testament to Britain's influence on European affairs while also shedding light on Queen Victoria's enduring legacy as one of Great Britain's most iconic monarchs.
