EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in British history - the official opening of the new buildings at Lincolns Inn in 1845. The focal point of the image is Her Majesty's State Chair, a magnificent throne used by Queen Victoria during this grand event. The chair exudes opulence and regality, adorned with crimson velvet upholstery and a canopy covered in rich crimson cloth. Its back proudly displays the Royal arms of the Tudor period, while intricate gold lace embroidery embellishes every detail. The photograph showcases not only the exquisite craftsmanship of this sumptuous piece of furniture but also highlights its significance as a symbol of power and authority. It stands as an embodiment of Victorian Gothic design, showcasing neo-Gothic elements that were prevalent during that era. The image transports us back to a time when Britain was under the reign of Queen Victoria, known as Alexandrina Victoria during her early years on the throne. As Empress of India and Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, she held immense influence over her vast empire. Preserved through time by Philip Hardwick's engraving for "Illustrated London News" this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation. It allows us to marvel at an extraordinary piece from our past while providing insight into the grandeur associated with royal events in 19th-century Britain.
