The Visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to Manchester in 1851,1876
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil on canvas print by George Hayes depicts the historic visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to Manchester in 1851. The artwork showcases the royal procession emerging onto what is now known as Piccadilly Gardens, a momentous occasion captured with meticulous detail. On the left side of the painting, we see the grand Royal Infirmary adorned with magnificent fountains specially installed for this momentous visit. Queen Victoria herself noted in her diary that despite the immense crowds and overwhelming enthusiasm from the people of Salford and Manchester, she observed a population that was intelligent yet plagued by poor health. The painting beautifully captures not only the pomp and ceremony surrounding this royal event but also provides a glimpse into Victorian England's bustling city life. The streets are teeming with people eagerly awaiting their monarch's arrival, creating an atmosphere filled with excitement and anticipation. This artwork serves as a testament to both British history and artistic talent. It offers viewers a unique window into an important chapter in Manchester's past while showcasing Hayes' skillful brushwork. With its rich colors, intricate details, and historical significance, this print is truly a remarkable piece that transports us back to a time when royalty graced our streets.
