EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the royal visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to Germany in 1845. Known as "Her Majesty's Steamer, The Fairy" this majestic vessel sailed along the enchanting Rhine River, offering a picturesque backdrop for this memorable occasion. In the image, Queen Victoria is seated regally on deck, comfortably settled in an armchair. Beside her sits Prince Albert, her beloved consort. The King of Prussia, Frederick William IV, stands nearby, pointing out notable sights along the river to Her Majesty. A single general officer accompanies them in uniform. The scene exudes a sense of informality and joyousness that characterized this part of their royal tour. It beautifully illustrates how state formalities were set aside during their time aboard The Fairy steamer. This snapshot from the Illustrated London News provides us with an authentic glimpse into this historical event. The attire worn by all individuals reflects the fashion trends of mid-19th century Britain and Germany. Bonnets adorn heads while men don hats appropriate for leisurely holidays. This engraving showcases not only important figures but also offers insight into clothing styles prevalent during that era. Preserved through time by an unknown creator, this print allows us to relive a moment when two monarchies converged on one vessel amidst stunning natural scenery – truly capturing a unique chapter in history.
