EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Royal Procession on Fleet Street, City of London, 1837" captures a momentous occasion in British history. Created by the talented artist Augustus Butler, this print showcases Queen Victoria's visit to the City of London on November 9th, 1837. In the foreground of the image, an enthusiastic crowd gathers to witness the grand procession passing in front of Wests opticians shop. The building is adorned with vibrant flags that symbolize patriotism and pride for their country. Horses elegantly trot along Fleet Street as soldiers stand tall and proud on horseback. The scene exudes a sense of excitement and anticipation as people line the avenue to catch a glimpse of their beloved queen. Queen Victoria herself can be imagined sitting regally in her carriage amidst this spectacle. This lithograph not only serves as a visual representation of an important historical event but also provides insight into life during the Victorian era. It transports viewers back to a time when royal visits were celebrated with great fervor and showcased Britain's power and influence. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, it reminds us of our rich heritage and invites us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind its creation and the significance it holds within British history.
