EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white sketch by R. Landells, dated 1856, we witness a significant moment in British history as Queen Victoria and the Royal Family embark on a Royal Navy display at Portsmouth, Hampshire. The scene unfolds at the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard, where the Queen's arrival was met with an outpouring of enthusiasm from the tens of thousands of loyal subjects. The moment of Her Majesty's appearance in the port was a signal for the hearty welcome of their "Sea Queen" by her delighted people. The Court immediately embarked on board the State barge, skillfully steered by Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman. The excitement was palpable as the crowd cheered in unison, their voices echoing through the harbor. The Queen, dressed in her regal attire, looked resplendent as she prepared to take her place among the naval officers and men, who stood proudly at attention. This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the essence of a grand royal event, showcasing the spirit of the British people and their deep connection to their monarch and the Navy. The scene is filled with activity, as men row their oars in unison, while others man the paddles of the railway steamers that transported the Royal Party to the harbor. The sailors and naval officers, dressed in their uniforms, stand tall and proud, ready to pay their respects to their sovereign. The geographical feature of Spithead in Hampshire, England, serves as the perfect backdrop to this magnificent display of British naval power and tradition.
