EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Liverpool in 1865. The future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra can be seen amidst a grand procession towards St. Georges Hall, an architectural masterpiece in Neoclassical style. During their visit on 31 October 1865, the royal couple explored the library and museum within this iconic building. St. Georges Hall served as a venue for festivals, meetings, dinners, and concerts, making it an integral part of Liverpool's cultural scene. The image was originally featured in the Illustrated London News on 11 November 1865, showcasing its historical significance even during that time period. The engraving beautifully captures the landscape surrounding St. Georges Hall with crowds of people eagerly awaiting the arrival of royalty. Prince Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David (later known as King Edward VII) stands tall beside his elegant wife Princess Alexandra Caroline Mary Charlotte Louisa Julia (also referred to as Queen Alexandra). Their presence symbolizes not only their own importance but also signifies Britain's influence during the Victorian era. This monochrome photograph is a testament to both architectural brilliance and royal visits that shaped British history throughout centuries past. Preserved by The Print Collector under unknown circumstances, this image serves as a reminder of Liverpool's rich heritage and its connection to British royalty.
