The Queen's visit to Germany: the Ducal Palace and Church of St. Moritz, Coburg... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The Queen's visit to Germany: the Ducal Palace and Church of St. Moritz, Coburg - from a sketch by our special artist, 1862. The Palace of Ehrenburg (burg of honour)...occupies three sides of a square, and is of simple but chaste Gothic architecture...In the palace are a library of nearly 30, 000 volumes and a valuable collection of natural history, minerals, coins, and prints. The apartments which were occupied by her Majesty and the Royal children are precisely in the same state as they were on the Queen's former visit to Coburg, and in the private rooms of the late Prince Consort nothing has been changed. From her Majesty's bedroom there is a fine view of the park and the ancient castle. The Duke of Coburg's apartments are in the opposite wing: some are noble rooms. One small room adjoining his bedroom...has no other decoration than lithographic portraits of the young English Princes and Princesses; but scarcely a room in the palace is without portraits or busts of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal children. In front of the palace is a circular parterre, with numerous orange-trees; having in the centre a fine bronze statue of the late Duke of Coburg'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a significant moment in history: The Queen's visit to Germany in 1862, specifically to the Ducal Palace and Church of St. Moritz in Coburg. The image is based on a sketch by an unknown artist, published in the Illustrated London News. The Ducal Palace, also known as Ehrenburg (burg of honor), is a Gothic architectural masterpiece that graces the corner of a square. Its grand library houses over 30,000 volumes, and its collection of natural history, minerals, coins, and prints is invaluable. During her visit, Queen Victoria and her royal children occupied the same apartments as on her previous visit. The rooms, especially the Queen's bedroom, offer breathtaking views of the park and the ancient castle. In contrast, the Duke of Coburg's apartments, located in the opposite wing, boast noble rooms adorned with portraits and busts of the Queen, Prince Albert, and their children. The palace grounds feature a circular parterre, filled with orange trees, and a bronze statue of the late Duke of Coburg stands proudly in the center. The Queen's visit to Coburg was a poignant journey, as it was also the place where she and Prince Albert had spent some of their happiest moments together before his untimely death. This photograph print is a testament to the rich history and enduring legacy of the royal family's connection to this beautiful German town.
