Portion of the State Ceremonial on the Upper Terrace of the Horticultural Society's Gardens, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Portion of the State Ceremonial on the Upper Terrace of the Horticultural Society's Gardens, [South Kensington, London], 1862. In the Horticultural Gardens a dais, with the throne which had been used at the opening ceremonial, was erected over the site intended for the memorial of the Exhibition of 1851. In the conservatory on the terrace the Royal Commissioners for 1851, the Lord Mayor, the Council of the Society of Arts, the Council of the Horticultural Society, and the members of the Finance and Building Committees, had assembled; and there also assembled the Duke of Cambridge and the special representatives. About one o'clock this body moved down to the dais and throne, the Viceroy of Egypt and Prince Carignan walking on either side of the Duke of Cambridge. Here had previously assembled the whole body of jurors, and they were grouped at its foot. On the dais the cortege above mentioned stationed itself, when Earl Granville, on the part of the Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1862, delivered an appropriate address. Lord Taunton, as President of the Council of Jurors, read a report stating at large their awards'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of the Horticultural Society's Gardens in South Kensington, London, during the State Ceremonial of 1862. The image portrays a portion of the event that took place on the Upper Terrace of the Gardens, where a dais and throne were erected to mark the site intended for the memorial of the Exhibition of 1851. The Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851, the Lord Mayor, the Council of the Society of Arts, the Council of the Horticultural Society, and the members of the Finance and Building Committees had gathered in the conservatory on the terrace before the procession began. The Duke of Cambridge, along with special representatives, joined them later. The jurors had already assembled at the foot of the dais, and the cortege, including the Viceroy of Egypt and Prince Carignan, walked alongside the Duke of Cambridge as they approached the dais. Earl Granville, representing the Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1862, delivered an address to the assembled crowd. Lord Taunton, as President of the Council of Jurors, then read a detailed report of their awards. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur and formality of the State Ceremonial held in the Horticultural Society's Gardens during the mid-19th century. The intricately dressed attendees, the elegant dais, and the ornate throne all contribute to the sense of occasion, making this an essential historical record of a bygone era.
