Arrival of the Queen at the Lodge, Castle Howard, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Arrival of the Queen at the Lodge, Castle Howard, 1850. Queen Victoria visits the Earl of Carlisle in North Yorkshire....the road passes under an old-fashioned archway, flanked by battlemented walls, terminating at either end in small turrets. Another equally old-fashioned archway, crowned by a pyramidal ornament, is passed through, and then the road, turning to the right by the obelisk, is carried forward to the north front of the Castle. A few ornaments of flowers and evergreens decorated these archways, and completed the preparations for her Majesty's reception...At the most convenient points along the route the peasantry were collected to see their Queen, who acknowledged very graciously their simple-hearted demonstrations of loyalty'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

The image showcases the grandeur and elegance of the Victorian era as the monarch makes her regal entrance through the historic gates of the estate. The road leading to the castle is adorned with old-fashioned archways, each flanked by battlemented walls and terminating in small turrets. The Queen's procession passes under these archways, decorated with flowers and evergreens, as the local peasantry eagerly await her arrival. The Queen, dressed in her finest apparel, sits gracefully in her horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by her entourage. Her horse, adorned with the British flag, adds to the grandeur of the scene. The Earl of Carlisle, George William Frederick Howard, stands at the entrance, greeting his esteemed guest with a warm welcome. The architecture of Castle Howard is a sight to behold, with its intricate details and grandeur, reflecting the opulence of the time. The obelisk and the pyramidal ornament atop the archway add to the grandeur of the entrance, making it a fitting welcome for the Empress of India. This photograph is a snapshot of history, capturing the essence of the Victorian era and the awe-inspiring arrival of a monarch at a grand country estate.
