The Queen at the Station Hotel, at Hull, 1854. Creator: Unknown
The Queen at the Station Hotel, at Hull, 1854. Queen Victoria visits Yorkshire by train. Amid the firing of artillery and shouts of welcome, which were taken up and repeated by ten thousand hearty Yorkshire voices in and around the station, her Majesty stepped upon the platform...Preceded by the Mayor and Sheriff, and leaning upon the arm of the Prince Consort, her Majesty advanced towards the apartments prepared for the Royal visitors in the Station Hotel, the entrance to which opens directly upon the platform...The railway station was brilliantly lit up, so that none of the details of the pageant were lost upon the eye...As the Royal couple passed along at the head of this cortege, they were enthusiastically greeted by the gaily-dressed spectators who filled the galleries on either side, and graciously bowed their acknowledgments'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News in 1854, captures a historic moment in British history as Queen Victoria pays a visit to the Station Hotel in Hull, Yorkshire. The image, which is believed to be the work of an unknown photographer, showcases the monarch's arrival at the railway station, where she was greeted with a grand welcome ceremony. Amid the firing of artillery and enthusiastic shouts of welcome from the ten thousand strong crowd, Queen Victoria, preceded by the Mayor and Sheriff, and accompanied by her husband, Prince Albert, advances towards the Station Hotel. The station, brilliantly lit up for the occasion, is adorned with banners and flags, creating a festive atmosphere. The Royal couple, dressed in their finest apparel, are greeted warmly by the gaily-dressed spectators who fill the balconies and galleries on either side of the platform. The men, wearing top hats and uniforms, and the women, in fashionable dresses and hats, cheer and wave as the Queen and Prince Consort pass by. This photograph is a testament to the pageantry and patriotism of the time, as well as the excitement and innovation brought about by the advent of the railway system. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the lives of the monarchy and the people of Britain during the nineteenth century.
