EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Manchester's history - the grand procession approaching the Town Hall in 1887. The Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by an impressive escort, visited the city to inaugurate the Royal Jubilee Exhibition. This event marked a significant milestone for both Manchester and Britain as a whole. The image showcases the architectural beauty of the Town Hall with its towering spire, standing proudly amidst a bustling street adorned with bunting. Crowds of people line the avenue, eagerly watching as horse-drawn carriages pass by. The pageantry is evident as soldiers on horseback ride alongside these regal vehicles. In this snapshot from another era, we catch a glimpse of Victorian England at its finest. The monochrome tones add to its timeless charm while emphasizing every intricate detail captured by the skilled engraver. It is worth noting that King Edward VII himself played a role in this historical event as he was then known as Prince Albert Edward. His presence adds an extra layer of significance to this remarkable scene. This print serves not only as a visual testament to Manchester's rich heritage but also symbolizes unity between royalty and commoners during times of celebration. It stands as an enduring reminder of how traditions were upheld and cherished throughout British history.
