The Queen's Visit to Dover Harbour, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Queen's Visit to Dover Harbour, [Kent], 1850. A hazy line of distant smoke, floating over the horizon in the direction of Ostend, grew gradually more distinct, until, at last, the well-defined forms of three steamers opened on the view...The noble proportions of the first, with the Royal standard flying at the main-mast head, the Admiralty flag at the fore, and the red ensign at the staff, declared to the assembled thousands that she bore the beloved object of their engrossing interest, and, by the course the yacht was taking, that it was her Majesty [Queen Victoria]'s intention not only to approach the harbour sufficiently close to give her a fair sight of the beauties of the bay and the points of interest connected with the national works in progress, but that...she was mingling with her subjects on terra firma as nearly and as intimately as she could...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Queen's Visit to Dover Harbour, Kent, 1850' by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into a historic moment in British history. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the excitement and patriotic fervor that engulfed the crowd as they awaited the arrival of Queen Victoria at Dover Harbour. The scene unfolds with a hazy line of smoke on the horizon, growing more distinct as three steamers approach. The first vessel, proudly displaying the Royal Standard, Admiralty flag, and the red ensign, leaves no doubt as to its royal passenger. The Queen's intention to visit her subjects on terra firma was clear, as she mingled with them not only from the deck of her yacht but also on land. The photograph showcases the grandeur of the era, with Dover Castle looming in the background and the fortifications along the coastline. The steamers, paddle steamers, and sailing yachts in the harbor symbolize the advancement of transportation during the Victorian era. The people in the photograph, dressed in their finest attire, reflect the excitement and anticipation of the royal visit. The Illustrated London News, a leading newspaper of the time, captured this moment for posterity, providing a window into the past and a testament to the enduring legacy of Queen Victoria as the Empress of India and Sovereign of Great Britain and Ireland. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the connection between the monarchy and its people, a bond that continues to this day.
