EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in British history - the opening of the new Royal Exchange building in the City of London, 1844. The image showcases Her Majesty Queen Victoria herself, elegantly crossing the Great West Portico, surrounded by a group of officials and dignitaries. Designed by renowned architect Sir William Tite, this neo-classical masterpiece stands as a symbol of grandeur and power. The intricate architectural features, including towering pillars and a majestic portico, add to its regal allure. As Queen Victoria steps onto the scene with grace and poise, she exudes authority befitting her role as monarch. The engraving from "Illustrated London News" provides us with an invaluable glimpse into this historic ceremony. It is fascinating to witness such an important event through the lens of time. This image not only immortalizes Queen Victoria's presence but also pays homage to all those involved in making this architectural marvel come to life. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry captured by an unknown creator from the 19th century, it serves as a reminder of Britain's rich heritage and royal legacy. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past that continue to inspire awe and admiration for both architecture and monarchy alike.
