EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking handcoloured aquatint engraving captures the grandeur and pomp of Queen Victoria's coronation parade in 1838, as evidenced by the Carriage of the Charge d'Affaires of Mexico, Colonel Almonte, taking center stage. The colonial officer, dressed in full military regalia, proudly sits atop his carriage, which is adorned with the Mexican coat of arms. He is flanked by a squadron of Life Guards, their cuirasses and bearskins glistening in the sun. Colonel Almonte, a prominent figure in the Mexican aristocracy, represented his country at the coronation ceremony held in London. His presence in the procession signified the diplomatic relations between Mexico and the British monarchy. The Colonel's hand rests on the hilt of his sword, adding an air of authority and military precision to the scene. The panoramic view of the parade showcases the panoply of military uniforms, the Household Brigade, and the various cavalry units that took part in the ceremony. The engraving, published by Fores in London, offers a correct representation of the state procession, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and splendor of the occasion. The intricate details of the engraving, from the individual strands of hair on the horses' manes to the intricate designs on the uniforms, highlight the skill and artistry of the engraver. The use of hand colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a captivating and historically significant piece.
