The Queen at the Concert in the Royal Albert Hall, 1876. Creator: C.R
The Queen at the Concert in the Royal Albert Hall, 1876. Queen Victoria...entered the Royal box punctually at four o'clock, the immense assemblage rising to receive her with all due respect. Her Majesty acknowledged by repeated bows this silent greeting, and then took her place, having to the right Princess Beatrice and the Duke of Edinburgh, to the left the Princess of Wales and Prince Leopold...The magnificent bouquets supplied by Mr. Wills, of the Royal Exotic Nursery, Onslow-crescent, lined the front of the box. These marked it out quite as effectively as did the crimson and gold hangings on which was emblazoned the Royal arms. The National Anthem having been sung, under the direction of Mr. Barnby, a movement of applause went round the hall, and the audience settled down to enjoy the concert'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by C.R for Illustrated London News in 1876, depicts Queen Victoria (1819-1901) graciously attending a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. The Queen, dressed in her regal attire, entered the box punctually at four o'clock, greeted by a respectful silence from the immense audience. Surrounded by her family, she sat between Princess Beatrice and the Duke of Edinburgh to her right, and the Princess of Wales and Prince Leopold to her left. The front of the box was adorned with magnificent bouquets supplied by Mr. Wills, of the Royal Exotic Nursery, and the crimson and gold hangings bore the Royal arms. The National Anthem was sung, and the audience expressed their applause before settling down to enjoy the concert. The photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of the occasion, with the heraldic decorations adding an air of regal sophistication. The audience, a mix of men and women, dressed in their finest attire, add to the decorative nature of the scene. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the British monarchy during the 19th century.
