The Queen bids farewell to the Duke of Wellington flagship, c1850s (1888)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving from 1888, we witness a poignant moment in British history as Queen Victoria waves off HMS Duke of Wellington. The majestic warship, boasting an impressive 131 guns, was launched in 1852 and served the Royal Navy with distinction. Dressed elegantly in her signature Victorian attire, complete with a top hat adorned with feathers, Queen Victoria stands on the shore bidding adieu to her loyal naval officers. Her regal presence commands attention as she symbolizes both power and grace. The image captures not only the grandeur of royal life but also highlights the significance of maritime warfare during that era. It serves as a reminder of Britain's dominance at sea and its role in shaping global events. This illustration is taken from "The Life & Times of Queen Victoria" by Robert Wilson, offering us a glimpse into the world of one of Britain's most iconic monarchs. Alongside Prince Albert by her side, their partnership is evident even in this still image. As we gaze upon this print today, it transports us back to a time when naval battles were fought on vast oceans and queens bid farewell to mighty ships. It reminds us that history is woven together through moments like these – where royalty meets seafaring heroes – creating stories that endure for generations to come.
