EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting, titled "The Royal Barge Leaving the Custom House Quay," captures a significant moment in British history that took place on the 4th of August, 1919. The image showcases the magnificent gold and red themed royal barge as it gracefully departs from the Custom House Quay during the Thames Pageant. The pageant was an impressive display of maritime might and national unity, marking the end of World War I and the beginning of a new era. The painting, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the royal barge, with its intricate gold decorations and vibrant red hues reflecting brilliantly on the tranquil Thames. The Custom House Quay, with its historic buildings and bustling activity, serves as the perfect backdrop to this regal scene. This artwork was originally published in Volume 11, November 1919, of "William Brown's Magazine," a popular publication at the time. The painting is now part of the esteemed March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of this momentous occasion. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the cheers and applause from the crowd lining the quay, feeling the excitement and anticipation in the air as the royal barge sets sail, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire awe and admiration to this day.
