EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Opening of the International Exhibition: Earl Granville presenting the address to the Duke of Cambridge," was captured by the esteemed London Stereoscopic Company in 1862. The image documents a significant moment in history, as Earl Granville, dressed in the official uniform of blue and gold embroidery, presents an address to the Duke of Cambridge during the opening ceremony of the International Exhibition. The scene is set in a grand hall, where a richly-ornamented throne had been erected. Seated on the throne is the Duke of Cambridge, with the Crown Prince of Prussia, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Derby, Prince Oscar of Sweden, the Lord Chamberlain, Viscount Palmerston, and the Speaker of the House of Commons, all taking their places in gilded chairs to the sides of the Duke. At the foot of the dais, Earl Granville, flanked by the Duke of Buckingham in blue and gold uniform, Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., Sir Wentworth Dilke, Bart., and Mr. Thomas Fairbairn, all wearing the uniform of Deputy Lieutenants, await their turn. The somewhat lengthy address which was prepared for the occasion was not spoken aloud, but rather, Earl Granville delivered a brief summary to the Queen's commissioners. The address was then handed to the Duke of Cambridge, who read a written reply on their behalf. This photograph offers a glimpse into the grandeur and formality of the occasion, providing a fascinating look into the past and the ceremonial traditions of the time. The intricate details of the attire, the regal setting, and the solemn expression of those present all contribute to the captivating narrative of this historic moment.
