The Banquet in the Guildhall at York, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Banquet in the Guildhall at York, 1850. At seven o'clock, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Lord Mayor of York, entered the hall amidst loud cheers from the assembled company. His Royal Highness appeared to be much struck with the magnificent coup d'oeil...After grace had been pronounced at the close as at the beginning of the banquet by the Rev. Canon Trevor, "the loving cup" was passed round, after the customary greeting delivered in the name of the Lord Mayor to all his guests, in the usual civic fashion, by Mr. Harker, the London toastmaster, and a flourish of trumpets. The Chairman, in an appropriate speech, proposed "The health of our gracious Queen, and long may she reign over us." (Tremendous cheering and applause.)'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'The Banquet in the Guildhall at York, 1850,' showcases a grand banquet held in the historic Guildhall of York, England. The event was graced by the presence of Prince Albert, the consort of Queen Victoria, who entered the hall accompanied by the Lord Mayor of York. The atmosphere in the room was filled with excitement and anticipation as the guests eagerly awaited the commencement of the banquet. The magnificent coup d'oeil, or optical illusion, decorating the walls of the banquet hall left Prince Albert much impressed, as evidenced by his thoughtful expression in the photograph. The room was adorned with banners and standards, bearing the insignia of the Archbishop of York and other dignitaries. The long dining table, laden with an extravagant spread of food and fine tableware, stood at the center of the room, ready to accommodate the numerous banqueters. The banquet commenced with the pronouncement of grace by the Rev. Canon Trevor, followed by the passing of the loving cup and the customary toasts. The Chairman proposed the health of Queen Victoria, eliciting tremendous cheers and applause from the guests. The engraving, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the essence of the Victorian era's grandeur and opulence, providing a glimpse into the indoor settings and social customs of the time. The image is a testament to the grandeur of the Guildhall and the significance of the occasion, making it an intriguing piece of historical documentation.
