Royal Cortege for the Marriage of Prince Edward and Princess Alexandra, 1863
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph captures a momentous occasion in British history - the marriage of Prince Edward and Princess Alexandra in 1863. The royal cortege is seen passing through the temporary entrance to St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, amidst a crowd filled with anticipation. The image showcases the grandeur of the event, with an array of ceremonial costumes on display. The beautifully adorned horse-drawn coach takes center stage, led by a distinguished coachman guiding the majestic horses. As it moves through Berkshire's picturesque landscape, this regal procession symbolizes tradition and opulence. Princess Alexandra stands out amongst her entourage; her elegance radiates as she prepares to embark on her journey towards becoming Queen consort. Beside her stands Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VII, exuding confidence and grace befitting his future role as monarch. The lithograph offers a glimpse into 19th-century England - its architecture represented by Windsor Castle's imposing fortifications and St George's Chapel standing tall in all its splendor. The panorama reveals a bustling scene outside Guildhall Library and Art Gallery where people from all walks of life gather to witness this historic union. As we delve into this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring power monarchy holds over our collective imagination. This print serves as both a testament to love transcending borders (Alexandra being Danish) and an ode to Britain's rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate us today.
