Visit of the King of the French to Queen Victoria - The Kings Closet, Windsor Castle
Visit of the King of the French to Queen Victoria - The Kings Closet, Windsor Castle, 1844. Louis Philippe, King of France, was a guest of the Queen. Of all the rooms devoted to the use of the King, this was, perhaps, the most comfortable, but yet the most gorgeous, in its decorations. It is of small size, and consequently was not overloaded with furniture - a rich cabinet, a sofa, three or four chairs and a pillar table, being the only large articles it contained. The prevalent colour of the room was crimson, the carpet, window-hangings, walls, &c. being of varied tints of that most regal colour..... From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment - the visit of the King of the French, Louis Philippe, to Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle in 1844. The image showcases The Kings Closet, a room dedicated to the comfort and luxury of the visiting monarch. Despite its small size, this space exudes opulence with its rich crimson color scheme that permeates through every element - from the carpet and window-hangings to the walls. The room is tastefully adorned with minimal yet exquisite furniture, including a lavish cabinet, a comfortable sofa, three or four chairs, and an elegant pillar table. The simplicity of these furnishings allows for ample movement within the room while maintaining an air of regality. The chandelier hanging from above illuminates every corner with soft lighting as it casts intricate shadows on the beautifully decorated walls. This engraving from "Illustrated London News" provides us with a glimpse into this historic event that brought together two powerful European leaders. Stephen Sly's expertly captured photograph transports us back in time to witness this royal encounter firsthand. It serves as a testament to both his skill as a photographer and his dedication to preserving moments of historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of the grandeur and elegance that once graced Windsor Castle during such prestigious visits by foreign dignitaries.
