Queen Victoria's First Parliament - The Opening Ceremony, November 20,1837
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the opening ceremony of Queen Victoria's first parliament. Taken on November 20,1837, this image showcases a young Queen Victoria at the Houses of Parliament in London. At just 18 years old, Victoria inherited the throne after the passing of her uncle, King William IV. This marked the beginning of her remarkable reign as Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until her death in 1901. The photograph is part of "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria" published in London in 1901. It offers us a glimpse into an era characterized by political change and tradition. Surrounded by politicians and dignitaries, Queen Victoria sits upon her royal throne with grace and poise. Her presence exudes power and authority as she navigates through her role as monarch during a time when women were not commonly seen in positions of leadership. This image serves as a reminder not only of Queen Victoria's historical significance but also highlights societal norms that prevailed during that period. It stands as a testament to both tradition and progress within British politics. Captured by an unknown photographer from "The Print Collector" this print allows us to step back into time and witness an iconic moment from one of Britain's most influential rulers.
