EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured aquatint engraving captures the grandeur of the Carriage of Princess Mary, Duchess of Gloucester, in Queen Victoria's Coronation Parade of 1838. The Duchess, who was the queen's aunt, is depicted in the elegant carriage drawn by six bay horses. The Duchess of Gloucester was born Princess Mary Adelaide of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and was the daughter of Duke Franz of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Princess Augusta of Saxe-Meiningen. She married Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, and later became Duchess of Gloucester and York. The engraving, published by Fores, Sporting and Fine Print Repository in Piccadilly, London, offers a panoramic view of the state procession on the occasion of Queen Victoria's coronation on June 28, 1838. The carriage of the Duchess of Gloucester is accompanied by an escort of grooms in livery, adding to the pomp and ceremony of the event. The Duchess, who was also known as the Queen Mother, was an important figure in the aristocracy of the time, and her presence in the coronation parade was a significant display of the monarchy's power and prestige. The intricate details of the engraving, from the ornate decorations on the carriage to the meticulously rendered horses and their grooms, showcase the skill and artistry of the engraver. The hand-colouring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a captivating representation of a historic moment in British history.
