EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a moment of regal grandeur as Queen Victoria confers the prestigious Order of the Garter. Created by William Heysham Overend in 1887, this print showcases the solemnity and splendor of royal investitures. The Queen, resplendent in her ceremonial attire, stands at the center of attention. With grace and poise, she bestows this esteemed honor upon an unidentified recipient. Surrounded by members of the royal party, including His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness, this event exudes an air of utmost importance. The Order of the Garter holds great significance within British royalty. Established in medieval times by King Edward III, it is one of the oldest orders still bestowed today. The ceremony itself is steeped in tradition and symbolism, representing loyalty to both crown and country. Through intricate details and masterful technique, Overend expertly captures every nuance of this historic occasion. From the elaborate costumes to the expressions on each face present, his work transports us back to a time when monarchy held immense power and prestige. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to witness firsthand a moment frozen in time – a glimpse into a world where royalty reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still marvel at their opulence and pageantry while appreciating their enduring legacy.
