EDITORS COMMENTS
The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1863: A Visual Feast of Victorian Society The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1863, captured in this photograph, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and fashionable world of Victorian London. Held at the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts, this annual event showcased the latest works of both established and emerging artists, drawing in a diverse crowd of patrons, critics, and socialites. The photograph, taken in 1863, captures the bustling scene outside the academy, where top hatted men and elegantly dressed women, adorned in crinolines and extravagant bonnets, mingle and socialize. The men, dressed in formal attire, engage in animated conversations, while the women, with their parasols and gloved hands, exchange pleasantries and admire the artwork on display. The crinoline, a fashionable and voluminous skirt popular during the 1860s, is a prominent feature in this photograph, adding an air of opulence and extravagance to the scene. The visual arts, a cornerstone of Victorian society, were celebrated and showcased in this grand event, attracting the attention of society magazines and becoming a must-see attraction for the elite. This photograph, taken over 150 years ago, transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the social scene of Victorian London during the height of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. It serves as a testament to the importance of art and visual culture in the Victorian era and continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
